Delaware needs offshore wind energy
Cape Gazette, Commentary, Peggy Schultz
In December, Sussex County Council faced a momentous decision: approve a permit that would allow clean, renewable energy from offshore wind to flow across our power grid and meet the rapidly increasing demand for electricity, or deny the permit and, in doing so, deny Delawareans several great benefits.
Council, wrongly, denied the permit, showing it had no consideration for public opinion, the state or the region at a critical juncture in our energy future.
A bill pending in the legislature would reverse that decision.
