This is a blog talking about the first offshore wind farm to hit the United States. This is a controversial topic because of the perceived visual pollution that comes from these farms. A step in this direction would open up the industry to more options for energy production. New technologies will make the energy consumption a better, less polluting industry. At the same time the willingness to work in the ocean opens many more possibilities for the energy industry. With these possibilities opening up, there is an ability to expand the energy capabilities of the country, and new possibilities mean not only more energy, but also more jobs. These are good things for the future.
