    Wind-Power Politics - NYTimes.com http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/magazine/14wind-t.html?pagewante... September 14, 2008 Wind-Power Politics By MARK SVENVOLD “The moment I read that paper,” the wind entrepreneur Peter Mandelstam recalled, “I knew in my gut where my next wind project would be.” I was having lunch with Mandelstam last fall to discuss offshore wind in general and how he and his tiny company, Bluewater Wind, came to focus on Delaware as a likely place for a nascent and beleaguered offshore wind industry to establish itself. Mandelstam had been running late all morning. I knew this because I received a half-dozen messages on my cellphone from members of his staff, who relayed his oncoming approach like air-traffic controllers guiding a wayward trans-Atlantic flight into Kennedy. This was the Bluewater touch — crisp, informative, ever-helpful, a supercharged, Eagle Scout attentiveness that was part corporate style, part calculated public-relations approach. It would pay off tremendously in his company’s barnstorming campaign of Delaware town meetings and radio appearances to capture what he had reason to believe would be the first offshore-wind project in the country’s history. These features were, unsurprisingly, manifestations of Mandelstam himself, who arrived in a suit and tie, a wry smile, his wiry hair parted in the middle and tamped down like someone who had made a smooth transition from a Don Martin cartoon. Mandelstam, a 47-year-old native New Yorker who is capable of quoting Central European poets and oddball meteorological factoids with ease, had long committed himself — and the tiny company he formed in 1999 — to building utility-scale wind-power plants offshore, a decision that, to many wind-industry observers, seemed to fly in the face of common sense.

  • Delaware Opinion on Offshore Wind Power Interim Report 16 January
    Delaware Opinion on Offshore Wind Power Interim Report 16 January 2007 Jeremy Firestone, Willett Kempton and Andrew Krueger University of Delaware College of Marine and Earth Studies Background This interim report summarizes initial analysis of survey work undertaken in response to a November 30, 2004 Green Energy Fund Request For Proposals issued by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Delaware Energy Office. The Energy Office made the award to Jeremy Firestone and Willett Kempton, College of Marine and Earth Studies, University of Delaware, in 2005; however, the project did not commence until February 1, 2006, when matching funds were secured.1 The project has two principal components: (a) a survey of Delaware residents’ opinions regarding offshore wind development and (b) an analysis of Delaware’s present regulatory regime for offshore wind power and options/recommendations for amendments to the same. This Interim Report provides preliminary analysis of the survey data,2 and where useful, draws comparisons to other recent surveys of public opinion regarding wind power development off the US coast. Survey Development In February 2006, we commenced development of a semi-structured interview protocol. An initial interview protocol was developed from the experience gained in Cape Cod, Massachusetts (Kempton, et al. 2005) and in New Jersey. The Cape Cod interviews were conducted with the controversial Cape Wind Nantucket Sound Wind Farm proposal as a backdrop while the New Jersey interviews occurred in parallel with a series of lightly publicized public meetings convened by the NJ Blue Ribbon Panel on Offshore Wind Power. In contrast, until the fall 2006, there had been little, if any, public debate on offshore wind power in Delaware.

Wind power can dramatically reduce the environmental impacts associated with power generated from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Electricity production is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States. Thus, adoption of wind power generating technologies has become a major way for the United States to diversify its energy portfolio and reach its expressed goal of 80% reduction in green house gas (GHG) emissions by the year 2050. The benefits of wind power plants include no fuel risk, no carbon dioxide emissions or air pollution, no hazardous waste production, and no need for mining, drilling or transportation of fuel (American Wind Energy Association, 2009a).
