The U.S.s First Offshore Wind Farm...FINALLY

Rated Jun 24 2008 • 4 reviews • alternative energy, wind • ecogeek.org

The new wind farm will be built off the coast of Delaware, about 12 miles off the coast. That should decrease the visual distraction significantly as well as help capture those roaring atlantic breezes that average about twice that of on-land wind speeds. The field will be composed of about 150 turbines and will produce enough electricity to power about 100,000 homes at peak output.
