Unlike Rock Port, Missouri, the entire state of Delaware won’t be 100-percent wind-powered after Bluewater Wind constructs a $1.6 billion wind park just off its shore, but the state will be able to “light about 50,000 homes a year” for the duration of the 25-year contract. Said agreement was just nailed down between the aforesaid firm and Delmarva Power, and it hopes to start powering homes via wind by 2012. The offshore site will sit around 12 miles off Rehoboth Beach, with a number of turbines to be planted 90-feet into the sea floor and sport three blades apiece measuring 150-feet long. It’s noted that vacationers and locals alike won’t be able to notice the park from the beach except on a few remarkably clear days, but if their energy bills sink because of it, we don’t really think they’ll mind, anyway.
