USA: Offshore Wind Bill to Face Maryland Lawmakers

Wind energy will be one of the topics at this year’s General Assembly in Maryland which starts today.

Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller supports O’Malley’s wind energy bill which failed twice to reach the Senate floor.

Recently, Miller has made a committee change in order to pass the bill.

Senator Muse, who swaped places with Senator Ramirez, does not consider the swapping to be a good way of dealing with such issues. “If they can just start switching people around anytime they want the votes, [then] we’re all useless there,” he explained.
