Offshore wind power is being developed all over the world including our own East Coast. What is happening in the Great Lakes and what can we expect to happen? Some experts predict that offshore wind power will be a major source of power for Great Lakes states in the future. What are the economic and environmental issues? What are the prospects and what are the issues when we develop this huge potential energy resource off our shores?
