THE MAINE OPPORTUNITY

摘要

The state of Maine is in a lucky position. Poised at the northern -most point of the power hungry US Northeast, the state has a ready market for the power it generates. While Maine has large, wind and desolate swaths of land ideal for wind power, its neighbors to the south - particularly Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island - have little room for wind farms. These heavily populated states need wind energy, or at least the renewable energy credits the projects generate. The three states have aggressive state mandates to add a growing percentage of renewables to their power portfolios each year.
