#1 This is some serious LOLs.

More links found.
(MOD: Linky too long, sorry)

Galveston will get a few turbines (about 50) while the big farm sounds like it's slated to be somewhere along the Southern Texas coastline. The Plan says something about 500 turbines.

Cool stuff, I hope they're right about the birds and such.

#2 I think there are multiple offshore wind projects in the Galveston area, with different companies behind them.

There's one doing monitoring platforms there in hopes of further development; they were going to do one off of Louisiana, but it turned out to be too cumbersome. (Yes, in Louisiana. The same state government is threatening to veto offshore drilling. I guess anything to drive up energy prices when the national government's run by Republicans).
