The state of Maine wants to build a $760 million port that can specifically accommodate the assembly and deployment of floating wind turbines. The plans also call for the construction of a heavy-lift, semi-submersible barge that can launch the foundations needed to support floating wind turbines. Maine, as it competes for federal grant funding, is trying to position itself as an ideal location for such a port. There's a lot on the line.
