U of Del Atlantic Coast Wind Study

The above link is to a report in Energy Central, a portion of which is quoted as follows:

"Willett M. Kempton, a professor at the University of Delaware, told the audience at the eighth annual Ronald C. Baird Sea Grant Science Symposium that a study he and his colleagues conducted using a decade of satellite data and information collected from federal meteorological buoys shows that annual offshore wind resources in the region amounted to 330 gigawatts or nearly five times the estimated energy use in nine coastal states including Rhode Island."

Another interesting wind energy article was in Environmental Leader (Energy and Environmenta News for Business). A portion states: "NRG told MarketWatch that Bluewater’s 450-MW offshore wind project off Delaware’s coast could start producing electricity by late 2013 or early 2014."
