NC a 'prime location' for offshore wind energy?

This Old State: N.C. a 'prime location' for offshore wind energy?:

A report from the National Wildlife Federation identifies North Carolina as a 'prime location' for offshore wind turbines that produce electricity -- amounting to about one-fifth the East Coast's potential wind energy production. The report says the region's relatively shallow waters make it a prime spot for wind energy, and offers the opinion that wind projects on our coast could create up to 20,000 manufacturing jobs.
