Offshore Wind in Coastal North Carolina: A Feasibility Study
Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate and analyze data related to the construction
of
an offshore wind facility located in coastal North Carolina in order to determine
whether
or not a renewable energy project of this scope and magnitude would be feasible. In
order to determine how feasible such a development would be for coastal North Carolina,
several different aspects of the project will be analyzed: Ecological impacts, including
potential changes in coastal geology and climate patterns; regulations and legal issues;
economic issues; and the public’s perception of wind energy. Based on these analyses,
recommendations will be made as to whether a project of this scope would be a
reasonable undertaking.
