Updated: 5:03 PM EST Dec 10, 2020 Terry Stackhouse The U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report Tuesday raising questions about the creation of offshore wind energy.Issues raised by the GAO, a nonpartisan federal agency that provides information to Congress, stem from the Jones Act which requires certain commercial ships to be built and registered in the U.S.The Mills administration says concerns raised in the report are not as applicable to a project planned off Maine’s coast as they are to other planned installations. In November, Gov. Mills announced plans to build a first of its kind wind farm for research in the Gulf of Maine.“The GAO study focused on vessels that install turbines that are fixed to the sea bottom, which are planned for other states. The state of Maine’s planned research array will use floating wind turbine technology, which requires much different construction and installation processes and vessels,” said Dan Burge
