Dear Ocean City Residents, Neighbors, Visitors and Friends,
Thank you for signing up for updates from the Town of Ocean City about the proposed wind farm and for your overwhelming show of support during the Save Our Sunrise Hearing that was held last Saturday, January 18th at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center. The turnout and support from the community was remarkable.
During the hearing, we echoed the Town of Ocean City’s standing. We support clean renewable energy, the potential of new jobs and the economic benefit to Maryland, but ask that these projects are placed out of our viewshed. Both Virginia and the Carolina’s have taken measures to protect their natural shoreline by requiring wind farms to be further off the coasts. Why can’t Maryland do the same?
Further, since these projects have already been delayed by the developers, we have time for the Public Service Commission to open an evidentiary hearing based on the material changes.
If you want clean energy, but not at the cost of losing our unspoiled ocean views forever, please call or write the Maryland Public Service Commission and your State and Federal elected officials. We only have one chance to do this. We need to do it right.
All comments are due by January 31, 2020.
