Historic for Delaware, the US, and perhaps for the World, here is the first part of today's press release:
WASHINGTON
—As part of the Obama Administration’s all-of-the-above strategy to
expand safe and responsible domestic energy production, Secretary of
the Interior Ken Salazar and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)
Director Tommy P. Beaudreau today announced that BOEM has reached
agreement on a lease for commercial wind energy development in federal
waters that covers 96,430 acres approximately 11 nautical miles off the
coast of Delaware.
“Delaware
has remarkable offshore wind potential, and harnessing this clean,
domestic energy resource will create jobs, increase our energy security
and strengthen our nation’s economic competitiveness,” said Salazar.
