Wind energy park off Long Island?

EarthEcho International, a Washington, D.C.-based marine science and environmental preservation group, is trying to develop a Wind Energy Park about 4 miles off the coast of Long Island. The grandson of marine scientist Jacques Cousteau, who is leading the development, told attendees of a press conference, "We owe it to ourselves and especially our children to vigorously develop renewable energy sources such as offshore wind in the interest of national security, continued economic viability, public health and the environment."
