Corps wants environ impact statement on wind project
The Charlotte Observer reports that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants Duke Energy to conduct an environmental impact study of its offshore wind farm in Pamlico Sound. While the coast has strong, plentiful winds, concern over negative effects on fish, wildlife, scenery, and boaters has called for an environmental evaluation. Duke plans to put up one to three turbines connected by underground electrical cable to Hatteras Island.
