In hopes of keeping its plan to use 20 percent of its energy in the form of wind power, Maryland has moved ahead in pushing a 200 million dollar wind turbine project. The governor vetoed a bill which would have killed the entire endeavor.
From an article on ThinkProgress Org:
Saying the project is too important to let sit on the sidelines, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley on Friday vetoed a bill that would have “effectively killed” a $200 million wind farm being developed on the state’s eastern shore.
House Bill 1168 would have established a 13-month moratorium on the proposed Great Bay Wind Energy Center, a 150-megawatt farm which could potentially generate enough energy to power 50,000 typical U.S. households.
Keep your eye on Maryland as they move ahead to become greener and more energy efficient using wind.
