The Baltimore Sun reports on Governor O'Malley's plan to bring more energy to Maryland before rolling blackouts become necessary. And as expected renewable energy is part of his plan.
The governor drew applause when he said he would seek to make Maryland a "national leader" in renewable energy. The idea would be to enter into long-term contracts with renewable energy providers, helping them to draw private investors and the necessary capital to build the projects.
State officials said the contracts could accelerate Delaware's plan to develop an offshore wind farm and bolster proposals for a power plant fueled by poultry litter on the Eastern Shore. The state, Baltimore City, Montgomery County and the University of Maryland have agreed to pool their buying power to attract commercial development of renewable power.
