In a time when good news is at a premium, it was refreshing to read about University of Maine researcher Dr. Dagher’s recent testimony before Congress on wind power potential off our coast. While his vision of massive wind farms 20 miles off our coast may seem unrealistic to some, it is just the kind of thinking we need to put into action.
Clean renewable energy is also healthy energy and will provide sustainable power for generations. It will be good for our pocketbooks and also good for our lungs. The sooner we move aggressively away from fossil fuel the better. Investing in offshore oil drilling is backward thinking. It is both short-sighted and dangerous. Every day we delay wind power development to debate this flawed proposal is another day of dependence on foreign oil.
