Is O'Malley's wind farm plan a stealth tax increase?

The governor wants every Maryland resident to pay an additional surcharge on their energy bills so that he can finance some company's endeavors to build a wind farm off of Ocean City. The windmill initiative might not go anywhere, but the charge won't stop if passed. Is this a quiet attempt to raise revenues? The D.C. government has a similar tax to fund its solar energy grant program, and it recently cancelled the grants to redirect the funds to other city programs. Does Maryland's governor plan to follow suit?
