U.S. Approves First Offshore Wind Farm 
---------------------------------------



The Obama administration has approved the construction of the country's
first offshore wind farm. There will be 130 wind turbine generators
built off Nantucket Sound in Massachusetts. Once fully operational, the
wind farm will produce enough electricity to power about 400,000 homes
in Massachusetts.
