Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has taken his first formal step in developing offshore wind power, requesting the formation of a task force to guide the leasing of federal waters off the Virginia coast.Virginia has a growing commitment to renewable energy. The Pilot article says that an offshore wind project could create up to 1,000 jobs.
