...Other states and companies on the East Coast have come forward with rough plans to develop offshore wind. The Long Island Power Authority has come back with a second plan, this time partnering with Con Edison to install more than 160 turbines 13 miles from shore. Maine could begin testing offshore sites in early 2010. The Southern Company, an electric utility, is applying to put up data collection towers off Georgia and Florida.
