Delaware to Build Nation's First Off Shore Wind Park!

It was a long hard fight with PEPCO holdings fighting it every step of the way - but the deal was struck this morning.

As Delaware's top blogger, Tom Noyes, put it it:

The News Journal identifies one important factor as to why Delmarva Power accepted Senator Tony DeLuca's invitation to sit down and work out an agreement:

   

But after an outpouring of public sentiment for a wind deal, and after DeLuca and Lt. Gov. John Carney got involved, Delmarva started negotiating.

This is a huge win.

Here is Blue Water Wind's statement in advance of thier press conference.
