For those interested in whether commercial wind turbines might get built off Maryland's coast one day, the Sierra Club is sponsoring a forum about it Wednesday night (10/20) in Annapolis.
Speakers include representatives of NRG Bluewater Wind, the company planning to put turbines off Delaware's coast, the Maryland Energy Administration and the state Department of Natural Resources, which has been mapping the near-shore waters and assessing wildlife and shipping impacts.
The forum will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the media center of Annapolis High School, 2700 Riva Road. For directions, go here. For more information, contact Carmen Paral at 410-760-6680 or cparal@verizon.net
