WHY OFFSHORE WIND?
Offshore wind is how Maryland takes control of its own energy future and tames runaway electricity bills.
More Maryland Energy
Maryland electric bills reached all-time highs this year and the threat of blackouts has grown. The solution is to generate more power right here in Maryland.
More Maryland Jobs
After more than a decade of environmental and regulatory review, the US Wind project is ready to go now. It will lead to thousands of well-paying jobs and steady paychecks for Maryland families.
A Stronger, Cleaner Future
Offshore wind strengthens our ability to adapt to a climate in crisis: it’s clean, reliable, and abundant, cutting emissions while preparing communities for future climate challenges.
MANUFACTURED MYTHS
Offshore wind is clean, abundant energy that creates good jobs for Marylanders. But a small group of people are telling lies about offshore wind. Get the truth about these manufactured myths.
Whale Tales
Anti-wind activists have been telling some tall tales when it comes to offshore wind turbines and whale deaths. The truth is that whale experts have repeatedly explained that there is no link between offshore wind and whale deaths. Claims tying every beached whale to turbines are not based in science.
Tourist Trap
Anti-wind advocates are predicting a doomsday scenario where tourism dries up overnight after the first offshore wind turbine installation. The truth is that people go to the beach to have fun, not spend their days squinting to see if they can spot a turbine. Economic studies conducted after wind turbine installation show one thing: no adverse impacts – and in some cases there is a net benefit to tourism.
Catch the Truth
Offshore wind turbines create new structures for sea life to feed and inhabit. In many cases, they actually improve the fishing experience— just ask anyone who has cast a line under the Bay Bridge.
