America's first offshore wind farm

Wayne and Garth were forgiven for finding nothing interesting to say about Delaware. But pretty soon the state may have something worth taking note of: America's first off-shore wind farm. Plans are moving forward to construct the pioneering 'farm' about 11 miles off the Delaware coast. The hope is that, if the project proves a success, it will start something of a trend, encouraging other states to make use of the reliably windy waters off their own coasts - and providing a promising step toward reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
