association asks U.S. to expedite permitting of offshore projects March 6 The American Wind Energy Association is urging the federal government to ease the permit review process for offshore wind projects. The group filed comments with the Minerals Management Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of the Interior, Feb. 28. The agency regulates offshore wind energy development on the Outer Continental Shelf. Blanket restrictions or red tape could stymie offshore wind energy development, according to the AWEA´s comments. The Minerals Management Service needs to formulate a development program that does not delay or impede the permitting of offshore wind energy projects, the AWEA said.
