Newspaper opinion on offshore wind investment
Saturday’s Bangor Daily News featured an editorial about deepwater offshore wind power technology development in Maine, spearheaded by the UMaine-led DeepCWind Consortium. The editorial references reports noting public discussion about the initiative’s potential economic impact and long-term viability. The BDN says that “a little skepticism is healthy” but that the project has appropriate “built-in benchmarks.” The editorial provides context relative to technology development through recent history, pointing out that “the DeepCWind project has high potential for ultimately being judged as successful,” in part because “a new energy paradigm is imminent.”
