Sunday, January 17th 2021, 8:33 pm - Government-funded study to propose offshore wind-friendly policies
It may be many years before turbines jut out of the Atlantic Ocean around Nova Scotia to spin wind into energy for the electric grid, but the growth of the offshore wind industry in other parts of the world has sparked the province s interest. In Nova Scotia we are blessed with a long coastline. We re blessed with a tremendous wind resource, said Alisdair McLean, executive director of the Offshore Energy Research Association, which is using $50,000 from the provincial government to commission a report on offshore wind potential.
