Bluewater

The Bluewater offshore wind energy project was a huge win for the alternative energy movement. It's going to be very interesting to see how things actually turn out for the project over the coming years. I think wind energy is a great up and coming thing. Even though it is variable and therefore the typical power plants still need to be used, they are able to be used less frequently. This will allow for less fuels to used which is becoming a growing concern. Using wind energy can allow more time for better and more reliable alternative energy sources to be found and developed. It should also prove to be a much more environmentally friendly energy source because it will not create the amount of pollution that other power plants create. As it talks about in the article I also hope that by more and more states creating their own wind power plants that it will force the federal government to make some legistration regarding them.
