Kratovil Praises Commitment to Offshore Wind Energy as Means of Reducing the Cost of Energy, Promoting Energy Independence, and Making America More Secure

Statement

Rep. Frank Kratovil released the following statement today after it was announced that Maryland will take part in the formal partnership of the newly formed Atlantic Offshore Wind Consortium. The group, comprised of States along the Atlantic coastline and the United States Department of the Interior (DOI), will work to coordinate regionally prominent issues surrounding the development of off-shore wind along the Atlantic outer continental shelf.

"There's no silver bullet to meeting our energy needs, but this partnership is an encouraging step in the right direction. We need a balanced approach to creating a green energy future that will sustain job growth and promote national security. Today's announcement is an important step towards our energy future."
