鱈魚角計畫預示著美國風能業之未來
Cape Cod Project Could Foretell Future Of U.S. Wind Industry
By TOM ZELLER Jr.
已有愈八百架巨型風力電機分立於丹麥、英國及歐洲另七國的海岸邊。其憑藉烈烈海風生產了足夠的電力可供給數百戶人家使用。與此同時，中國首間離岸風力電廠下月開工在即。這項總功率達一百零二百萬瓦的大手筆座落於上海附近，而更多新廠亦在其規劃之中。
More than 800 giant wind turbines spin off the coasts of Denmark, Britain and seven other European countries, generating enough electricity from strong ocean breezes to power hundreds of housands of homes. China’s first offshore wind farm, a 102-megawatt venture near Shanghai, goes online this month, with more in the pipeline.
而美國呢，雖說近十年來不斷努力，至今仍未有任何離岸的風力電機立起。
But despite a decade of efforts, not a single offshore turbine has been built in the United States.
