First, take a look at where we are now harvesting wind. From the Texas Panhandle, up through Oklahoma, and on to the Upper Midwest. Lots of good pink.

Now, check our offshore along the Gulf Coast and Florida’s east coast. Not much onshore in the SE, but lots of nice potential just offshore.

Finally check the rest of the US coast and the Great Lakes. Much beautiful red and some fantastic blue off the Northern California/Oregon coast. Imagine anchoring a lot of floating turbines off that coast and running a HVDC line over to the Pacific Intertie. That would distribute excellent wind all up an down the West Coast and even as far east as Utah thanks to the Intermountain Intertie.

Sorry Amber, you’re slighly out in your geography – Brighton and Hove is on the other side of Hampshire on the Sussex coast. Bournemouth is on the Hampshire/Dorset coast (where I live)

Look how they’ve climbed on board with wind and are starting to come around with solar now that it’s getting affordable.

Wish I would hear the republicans quit with the drill baby drill bs and start looking at this.
