Feds Approve Maine’s 15-Mile-Long Floating Offshore Wind Research Facility
by Christian Wade  Aug 22, 2024 
 

The Biden administration has given the green light to Maine Gov. Janet Mills‘ plan to create the nation’s first offshore wind power system devoted solely to researching clean energy. [emphasis, links added]

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has agreed to lease a 15-mile tract of federal waters to Maine for the project, which will involve setting up a dozen floating windmills about 30 miles off the coast.


It would be the first devoted to researching how to develop the technology in a sustainable way that doesn’t impact the state’s commercial fishing industry. The exact details of the lease agreement were not released.

Mills said the project will help “establish Maine as a leader in responsible offshore wind, in balance with our state’s marine economy and environment.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Fishing issues should be the least of their worries. 

Can you imagine the damage that would happen when 15 miles of hardware come crashing (not floating)  ashore during a Cat 3 or 4 Storm, or even a major Noreaster.
