U.S. Seeks to Lease Federal Waters for Wind Energy - WSJ.com

This is a Deval Patrick/Obama boon doggle. Article after article expresses that this power will be extremely costly - raising everyone's bills. JUST what the NE needs is a bad economy. You ask why manufacturing went overseas Washington? Look in a damn mirror!

WASHINGTON—The Obama administration is looking to lease an area in waters off the coast of Massachusetts for wind-energy projects.

The U.S. Interior Department asked wind-energy companies on Tuesday to determine whether they would be interested in building turbines within a 3,000 square-mile expanse of federal waters, south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

The so-called request for interest marks the first step in a leasing process that could allow wind-energy developers to produce 4,000 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 1.7 million households, Massachusetts' Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Ian Bowles said."
