Three propose wind farms off Jersey Shore | Philadelphia Inquirer | 03/05/2008

An established utility, a wind-farm developer, and a consortium of commercial fishermen each have proposed building giant turbine-driven power plants off the Jersey Shore, hoping to demonstrate the viability of the ocean breeze as a clean source of electricity. The three proposals vary widely - locations, for example, are between three and 16 miles off Atlantic or Cape May County - and timelines are iffy. Theoretically, however, within five years 100 spinning turbines could be generating 350 megawatts, enough to power 125,000 homes.
This is the first I've heard of this. Pretty cool.. |

Very cool! Hopefully someone's plan will go to work |
