The New York Power Authority is seeking proposals to develop offshore wind projects in the New York waters of Lakes Erie and Ontario.
"Not only will this represent the first initiative in the Great Lakes, it will be the first wind power development of any kind in a fresh water body in the nation," Authority President and Chief Executive Officer Richard M. Kessel said in an announcement.
New York's governor has a goal of meeting 30 percent of the state's electricity needs from renewable sources by 2015.
Michigan has a renewable portfolio standard of 10 percent by 2015.
Michigan is still the Great Lakes State, right?
