Today on Where We Live, states across New England are investing in offshore wind turbines – a renewable energy source that is relatively new to the United States.

But while offshore wind has a proven track record in other countries, critics worry their costs outweigh their benefits.

Reporters covering the battle over offshore wind, Luther Turmelle and Jan Ellen Spiegel, join us. And UConn political science professor, Luther Scruggs, helps us understand why offshore wind has become a political issue.

GUESTS:

• Jan Ellen Spiegel, freelance Environment and Energy Reporter 
• Luther Turmelle, Business Reporter, Hearst Connecticut Media Group
• Lyle Scruggs, Political Science Professor, University of Connecticut
