South Carolina to Harness Wind Power?
By MB-BigB | February 20, 2007
The Charlotte Observer reports that scientists, lawmakers, and energy utility executives from three states (South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia) will meet in Charleston this month to talk about offshore wind turbines.
“Areas off the South Carolina coast are potentially fertile ground for turbines, based on a study of wind strength recently commissioned by the state. On an average day, winds blowing off Charleston-area beaches range from 13 to 19 miles per hour. Also, the ocean is relatively shallow, even 60 to 70 miles offshore.”
