On Tuesday, Governor Larry Hogan today touted a partnership between US Wind and Tradepoint Atlantic to expand the development of offshore wind energy in Maryland.
“Offshore wind presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the state of Maryland to expand and diversify our economy and our energy portfolio,” said Governor Hogan. “For six and a half years now, our state has been leading the charge when it comes to supporting responsible and clean energy projects, and we are proud to continue setting an example for the nation of strong environmental leadership. With one of the most skilled workforces in the nation, one of the best ports and marine facilities in America, and with our administration’s continued commitment to clean and renewable energy, I am confident that Maryland will continue to be a prime location for offshore wind development.”
Hogan says today’s announcements will bring substantial economic benefits to Maryland, including 3,600 jobs and over $800 million of investment in the state’s economy.
“Offshore wind presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the state of Maryland to expand and diversify our economy and our energy portfolio,”
Yeah, thats a lie.
What it presents is higher electric bills, zero employment opportunity, an environment disaster and higher and higher taxes, since economically it is the burden of the citizens to pay for this scam
Hasn’t this idiot Hogan been paying attention? Or is he corrupt beyond the pale and getting payoffs to support this?
Wind energy is failing all over the world. It doesn’t work as promised, it is by definition intermittent energy at at best, and it requires high maintenance expense to keep it going with an expected 10 year lifespan per tower.
YOU AND I WILL GET STUCK WITH THE BILL FOR THIS LONG AFTER THE INVESTORS AND CONTRACTORS GET RICH AND ARE LONG GONE!!!!
Is horrible Hogan going to REQUIRE a bond for the cleanup costs when these need to be taken down?
THIS IS ABSOLUTE IDIOCY!
He is the prefect guy for this, he is full of hot air and a windbag!
Vote with your feet..md is going to become an EVEN WORSE tax hell hole
