Advocates to rally for offshore wind

Maryland environmentalists tomorrow will stage the first-ever citizens' conference and rally to promote offshore wind as a clean energy alternative, less than a month after the state became the second to receive federal approval for a large, offshore wind farm and days after the release of a report touting the potential of wind-generated power along the Atlantic coast.

The report, released at various public events along the coast, found that two-thirds of the state's energy needs could be met via offshore wind generation using current technology.
