NYT Reporting….
Kicking off what it called “a new day for energy production in the United States,” the Obama administration has issued five offshore exploration leases for wind energy production.
This is the first time the federal government has issued offshore wind leases, and the decision comes after the administration papered over regulatory infighting among various agencies in charge of energy development. The leases cover areas 6 to 18 miles off New Jersey and Delaware. More information can be found here.
I’ll have to read Tommywonktoday to figure out what this means on the ground,,,,er….ocean.
Additional Thought: This is a great way for us to support reform in Iran. Deprive Khamenei of oil revenue.
