Progressives to talk about offshore wind energy, windmills in Atlantic Ocean – The Star Democrat

SALISBURY Eastern Shore progressives and environmentalists will host a virtual town hall on Monday, April 12, on offshore wind energy.

The virtual event looks at offshore wind and starts at 6:30 p.m. The Lower Shore Progressive Caucus, Progressive Maryland, Chesapeake Climate Change Action and the Maryland Sierra Club are among the groups organizing the event.

There are proposals for wind energy projects along the Atlantic Seaboard including off the Delmarva Peninsula.

The Biden administration is also looking to expand wind energy in the Atlantic Ocean. Former President Donald Trump is a strong critic of windmills and wind energy.

The issue does create some splits even among environmentalists and progressive over support for renewable energy but concerns about wind energys impacts on marine life, birds and the health of the ocean and other bodies of water.
