We'll be the first state to have done it, although most shore states are considering it.

Diane; do you mean you'll be the first shore state to consider building wind turbines?

Tobina, if it happens they will be the first wind turbines operating off shore in the Ocean. It has been discussed in the Gulf and also off florida.

Thanks Frank, that's correct. Other states are considering it, but we're the first to sign the papers and get started. Virginia might be next.

Ah, I missed the "off-shore" part of it. That's pretty cool! What an amazing site to see; windmills in the middle of the ocean!

Diane, when it gets up and going, be sure to post a picture if you can.

Diane Amberg · July 02, 2008, 04:38:06 PM

Sure thing. If I can see them from shore.They may be too far out to be seen easily.

Awesome! I will never forget the first sight I had of the local wind farm I just couldn't get enough! It looked like the aliens coming over the rise from an H.G.Wells movie!

Diane, did you see the wind farm that we have northwest of Howard while you were here? It is quite an awesome sight. It is just south of Beaumont, northwest of Howard and can be seen from several spots on Highway 99, then again from 400 when you get close to Beaumont.

We sure did see it. It's quite amazing.
