BRUNSWICK, Maine - The state should look into creating a massive wind farm in the Gulf of Maine to break its reliance on oil and prevent an economic disaster, former Gov. Angus King said.

In a lecture at Bowdoin College, King said today that the state should launch a huge research and development project to create a $15 billion network of offshore wind turbines in the Gulf of Maine over the next decade.

From my favorite governor. Governor King launched an initiative to provide laptops for every public middle school student in the state of Maine. A first of its kind in the nation.
Go Maine!

  • This is terrific - I hope he can get it done. Ontario is exploring offshore wind in the Great Lakes. The US (Chicago) should be looking into the same thing. Thanks for sending me the heads up.
