Eco Event #3

I found this article on a website called articles.latimes.com. It provides articles on many different kinds of "eco-events".
The title of this article is "Wind Turbines could more than meet U.S. electricity needs". When I first read this title it caught my attention because everyone always talks about how we need to find another re-usable energy source but then why does no one ever talk about using wind turbines? In this article it stated that offshore turbines could produce up to 20% of the power demand for coastal states. To me the number sounded significant in comparison how much other energy sources we wouldn't be using because of the wind turbines. It also states that Obama's administration is pulling for an offshore energy program. I think that it is great to hear that we are taking full advantage to other energy sources that will better our environment.
