Newspaper examines offshore wind project
Wednesday’s Bangor Daily News includes a front-page story looking at a variety of economic issues related to deepwater offshore wind power. UMaine Prof. Habib Dagher, who is leading efforts to develop that technology through the DeepCWind Consortium, is a primary source for the story, which also references comments from Dean Dana Humphrey of the UMaine College of Engineering. The same newspaper includes a report on Prof. Dagher’s Tuesday meeting with community officials representing Belfast, Searsport and Stockton Springs. Those communities are interested in working together to bring jobs associated with deepwater offshore wind power to Waldo County.
