See: UD's Center for Research in Wind (CReW)
Background: July 2020 Willett Kempton presents to LWV on Offshore Wind Potential for Delaware
- Delaware is the only coastal state in the northwest atlantic region, from Massachussetts to North Carolina, that has not committed to buying offshore wind.
- With technological advances of the last several years, the cost of wind energy has decreased to the point that it need not be subsidized, and ratepayers can actually expect a decrease in per-unit energy cost with offshore wind in the mix.
- On-shore economic opportunities such as marshaling ports and manufacturing facilities have passed Delaware by, despite clear geographic advantages that the Delaware river basin enjoys, because of our lack of commitment to offshore wind.
- Environmental impacts, including a small impact on wildlife, do exist, but are offset by the reduction of pollution and CO2 emissions, with a long-term positive impact on climate change.
