Wind Power Instead of Offshore Drilling

"An Oceana analysis released today shows that offshore wind potential is so high off the U.S. Atlantic coast that investments in offshore wind power in Atlantic waters could generate about 30 percent more electricity than economically recoverable offshore oil and gas in the same region combined. In fact, Oceana found that a modest investment in offshore wind could easily supply nearly half of the current electricity generation of East Coast states." - excerpt from the Oceana web page.
