Maine wind power gets big boost
A bill that was awaiting President Barack Obama's signature Thursday provides $5 million for offshore wind studies at the University of Maine. In addition, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced federal stimulus funding of $8 million for UMaine's work on two floating offshore turbine prototypes.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine says the bill before the president also includes money for solar energy development at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, and tidal power and wind blade technology studies at UMaine.

Something new under the sun
I know it is an election year and this is too well timed to be a coincidence but you have to admit you never, ever would see something like this coming from a Republican administration.
