Department of Interior may expedite offshore wind power

Click at right to download the executive summary

A report released last week showing the potential for wind power along the coasts of the United States suggests the country could get most of its energy from a renewable resource.

The U.S. Department of the Interior's executive summary of the report, "Survey of Available Data on OCS Resources and Identification of Data Gaps," lists wind power potential along the eastern seaboard as, "...a renewable, low-carbon dioxide energy source located on the OCS that has the

potential to become a significant source of electricity in the United States."

The summary points out that most of the electricity consumed in the country are along the coasts where most of the population located.

Interior Secretary Ken Salaza told a Virginia that even though the survey showed there was between 10 billion and 18 billion barrels of oil located in the federally controlled Outer Continental Shelf, he would expedite offshore wind development to be one of the most significant aspects in nation-wide hearings beginning next week.
