New York Times : The Atlantic coast is one of the most favorable places in the US for siting wind turbines. To exploit that potential, Google and the investment firm Good Energies have each taken a 37.5% stake in a $5 billion project to build an offshore transmission line from Northern New Jersey to Norfolk, Virginia. The project is being run by Trans-Elect Development Co , which is based in Chevy Chase, Maryland. As the New York Times‘s Matthew Wald reports, once complete, the transmission line will carry electricity generated from wind turbines being built or planned along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
