Offshore wind roundup

FROM DELAWARE INC. -- Interesting item out of Maine over the weekend. Two islands slated for coastal turbines will also see homes installed with electric thermal storage heaters to capture some of the power. This is a small-scale version of what wind developers see as their dream: finding a way to capture excess power when the wind is producing more electricity than the grid can use… In Virginia, Gov. Bob McDonnell signed legislation creating the Virginia Offshore Wind Development Authority, to help guide the nascent industry along with state help. It will identify regulatory and environmental barriers, tell the state's ports what they need to do to prepare, and help apply for federal aid… The federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation recommended the U.S. Interior Department deny Cape Wind’s permit, saying it would be a blot on many nearby historic properties.
