Wind Power in My State?

As it says in the NY Times article..Who ever thought of wind power first being produced in Delaware? There are some people who don't even know that Delaware is a state! I first began to hear radio commercials for Bluewater Wind and see T.V ads featuring an older guy with the funny name T.Boone Pickens. I thought nothing of both of these ads because I never really thought wind power in Delaware would actually become a serious issue. Until reading this article I hadn't heard any further information other than these commercials. Since I've lived in Delaware for almost 20 years I feel almost special (as corny as that sounds) that my state is seriously considering this cleaner energy source. This article also ties into the field of meteorology, which I am seriously considering. I never thought of connecting cleaner sources of energy with meteorology. Even though I am not from the part of Delaware where the wind farms would be build, I would consider taking a drive to southern DE and checking out the location.
