Obviously that answer depends on what size wind turbines will be used, how much space is available and how close to shore they can be placed. His statement obviously spoke to the wind potential in that area, and it is certainly true that there is more than enough wind power potential to provide the electrical needs of New England, but how it is to be done is a complex issue with scientific, engineering, aesthetic and political ramifications, as you pointed out, although I think Ted Kennedy can be brought around, and I thought I'd heard that a judge had already overruled Ted's objections and the plans for the Cape Cod wind farm were going forward.
President Obama's Secretary of the Interior announced today that the use
of wind energy on the east coast could replace all the coal powered
electrical power plants in the US. When asked how many windmills would
be required he said "I haven't done the calculation yet". Good grief!
