New Poll Numbers Give More Definition to Support for Offshore Wind Power

The poll questioned 1,405 registered voters about their specific beliefs on the cost and benefits of developing offshore wind power. Statewide and across the key regions surveyed – Baltimore County, Prince George’s County, the Lower Eastern Shore, and Baltimore City – voter support for offshore wind power reaches a solid majority that approaches two-thirds of voters, despite a potential $2 per month cost to households. The two most important reasons for voters were the potential jobs impact and beneficial health impacts of offshore wind.
