There is a lot of support for the Maryland wind farm project, but unfortunately, it all comes from environmentalists or the pressures they put on others.  

Summer is right around the corner and as we see every year in Maryland, thousands of tourists and state residents will be voyaging to the Great Eastern Shore of Maryland to relax in the sun, enjoy off-shore fishing charters, and many will have just one-too-many drinks at the famous Secrets bar and restaurant.

All those things are a Maryland tradition that even Maryland transplants like my family enjoy, with the exception of the last. This year and probably the next season may be the last few times vacationers will enjoy before the massive offshore wind farm starts popping up and littering the view.

I have discussed this boondoggle of a project several times and pointed out how very visible these monstrous contraptions will be from the sand. For those who may not know, Maryland has decided to move forward with a large windfarm right off the coast. The $1,900,000,000 project is set to raise 187 tall (60-stories each) windmills 12 miles offshore. The project is touted to provide 750 megawatts of power – enough to serve the needs of 500,000 homes. Ultimately, taxpayers are going to pay the outstanding price of these towers while the developer, an Italian-backed company, U.S. Wind, will be able to sell energy credits at $132 bucks a pop for each megawatt hour they generate, “to help cover their costs.”
