Nation's Largest Wind Farm, Special Zone For Wind Energy Now Set for Final Review

摘要

A 3,000 megawatt wind farm in Wyoming that would be the largest in the nation, as well as creation of a special zone for wind energy projects off the coasts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, could receive final approval by the end of the year, the Interior Department announced July 2. Environmental assessments for both the proposed Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Farm sites as well as a proposed "wind energy area" off the coasts of Mas- sachusetts and Rhode Island have been completed, a move that clears the way for public comment and final review, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and other department officials said.
