for wind turbines.at around 17 meters per second, a turbine can generate some 850 kilowatt hours. >> when the wind speed reaches 25 meters per second, the turbine automatically shuts down. that kind of wind is too strong for the equipment. >> that happens a few times a month -- more often in summer than winter. the east wind blows up here from the mediterranean sea about forty kilometers away. the wind farm went online in november, 20-11. its 140-megawatt capacity is about a quarter of what a small, coal-fired power plant can generate. spain and germany helped finance the project. renewable energy sources could supply a large part of morocco's power needs without greenhouse-gas emissions. >> demand for electricity is rising an average of seven percent a year. so morocco has to prvide an additional four to five hundred megawatts of production capacity per year. there's an enormous potential in wind and solar energy here, and making better use of it could take a lot of pressure off both the budget and the

although keel -- we'll see wind. the winds coming up. that's had an impact with coastal flood concerns. let's head over to mike masco. >> the winds in excess of 50 miles an hour, so still some damaging winds with is that line. we had damaging winds across much of the state through the course of the afternoon. the storms started out around middletown. that marched through german town. we had a 48-mile-an-hour wind gust in baltimore. bell hair clocked 47, close to 50. kent island close to 50 and bowie, a 50-mile-an-hour wind gust. the winds have come down. coastal harford county, baltimore county, anne arundel county, annapolis included, are a under a coastal flood warning. some of the high tides after 5, after midnight in havre de grace. ft. mchenry, annapolis a little after 8:00. running between one to three feet above average. if you live in an area prone tod inning, especially toward middle river, be aware of that. wyatt, back to you. >>> great advice when you get to that range, that's where you'll have issues. as we look at the high t

it was about the wind, a lot of wind damage in carroll county. we have an update on the website. 48-mile-an-hour wind gusts in baltimore. bel air, 40-mile-an-hour. kent island showed a 47 on our weather bug site. a buoy popped north of the bay bridge. trees down, poles down. 270 seeing the flooding due to the rain. the winds have relaxed out of the southerly direction. that's going to be the problem. for that reason we have the coastal flood warning, havre de grace to annapolis. these are your high tide expectations, two to three feet. so a little after midnight, havre de grace an above average high tide. more of a norm wind. that will kick the waters out into the chest is a peek. it's going to dry us out. wyatt everhart is back in the weather wall with an update. >> the weather wall. i want to talk about not just the winds but what they have done. we have seen a stormy scenario land down through chesapeake beach. highs today pushing 80 into the low 80s. the heat and humidity. cool relief marching in. 60s through altoona, pittsburgh. breezy and r

take a look at some of these wind gusts. these are non thunderstorm wind gusts. middletown -- 42 miles per hour. gusty wind times in excess of 40 miles per hour. they do pick up those higher winds. in terms of rainfall -- already almost 2 inches. so 1.77. we are going to add to that. we could add a good inch or so to those rainfall totals. take a look at our latest computer model. as of now we are expecting another inch or so. closer to baltimore, they could see 2 inches or more. and yellow areas generally where we are expecting another inch to 1.5 inches of showers for the rest of the afternoon. here is a wider view of what is happening. some humidity today. that most of you off to the south. -- that moister off to the south. -- moisture off to the west. behind the cold front -- cooler air is moving and. tomorrow we will have high temperatures closer to 70 behind the front. here is your express forecast. gusty damaging straight line winds posing the biggest threat. also, i think there's a good chance of isolated tornadoes. debbie tornado watch until 7:00 p.m. te

the wind industry has already begun firing american workers because we have failed to extend the wind several years. this critical tax credit expires at the end of the year, and if we don't vote to extend it manufacturing facilities may shut down. thousands more americans will lose their jobs, and the negative economic ripple effect -- this isn't a positive ripple effect, mr. president. this is a negative ripple effect; it will be felt in communities all across our nation. now let me be clear in a further way. it's already happening. this isn't conjecture. in my home state of colorado, workers who had good-paying jobs in the wind industry just a month ago when i stood here no longer do. that's right. over 100 coloradoans were let go of their jobs in the colorado wind industry just in the last month, and there are more job losses projected to follow. that's sobering to all of us, mr. president. on a more upbeat note, i come to the floor to talk about the production tax credit and each time i've come to the floor i've focused on a particular state because there's good news all across ou

melissa: but wind -- >> that is great deal tore consumers. melissa: wind is not cheap.t is 50% more. it is getting massive subsidy from the government been in place 20 years. if it is so cheap, if it is so cheap why are we subsidizing. if your point is correct, i'm not even yielding, if it is so cheap why in the world would you want a subsidy? let's get rid of the subsidy. >> first of all the number you're looking at is an old number. actually is lower than that. and. melissa: even better. definitely shouldn't have the subsidy. if it is even cheaper than that you don't for sure you need the subsidy. >> let me explain what happened. you made two statements let me respond to them. melissa: okay. >> the first one is the misperception that we've had this for 20 years. the only, in the last five years have we had the tax incentive. we only have one. that is only allows us to get a tax, keep more of our tax dollars when we're producing electricity. in the last five years we have been able to scale up from over only 20% of our manufactured parts here in the u.s. to now over, a

they mandate using solar or wind. that is from government telling producers and consumers what they have to use. you do not shine it up by saying clean energy future. it is not. guest: clearly there is a choice in terms of where we want to go. there is no doubt we will keep doing some drilling. we will need some coal and gas in the short term. it is about a vision, the vision of going to a new clean energy future. let's take the issue of pollution. the epa is doing a tremendous job of cutting pollution from power plants, coal plants in particular. a 90% reduction in mercury pollution. you cannot let industries run amok and trust them to keep the air and water clean. that is not the way it works. the government does have a role to play to protect the air and water, to stop the subsidies and create a clear playing field. that is the clear choice in november about half board. -- about a path forward. guest: ever been to increase the government has a role to play. the question is -- everyone agrees the government has a ro

damaging winds are possible, maybe 40, 50, 60-mile-an-hour winds tomorrow. the best chance of that will most likely be after 3:00, maybe through around 10:00 tomorrow night. we want to make sure you're ready for those hours. even tomorrow morni when you wake up, this is what you can expect. maybe around 5:00, or tonight around midnight, we'll start to see the showers take place. we'll start on the lighter to moderate side. by tomorrow morning, starting to see heavier rain, especially west of i-95 move in, and during the afternoon, watch what happens here. we start to see the thunderstorms develop. if we are able to see sunshine tomorrow, the storms will be stronger. they will have stronger winds. notice where these are. i-95 east, southern maryland, parts of northern virginia, you have the best chance of seeing the severe weather. back to the west, along with the cold front, that will move through, too. and by tomorrow night, another round of thunderstorms could develop once again, producing very strong winds. this is going to be a fairly dangerous 24 hours.

offshore wind resources are abundant, the american wind energy association estimates that wind energy could provide enough electricity to power some 800,000 homes. and that's not all. onshore wind resources could also provide a substantial amount of power for the state. so you look at these numbers, this is an important industry in north carolina. it's certainly made a difference, but if we don't extend the wind production tax credit, this strong growth and the potential development -- the strong growth in the manufacturing sector plus the potential to harvest the wind in north carolina is really at risk. and the years of strong progress that we have seen here towards a clean energy future in north carolina could be literally dashed if the wind production tax credit expires at the end of the year. and here's the bad news. the wind industry in north carolina, because of their anticipating expiration, they are beginning to downsize and shelf expansion plans. predictable. this is being repeated, this story, potentially all over the country. it's heartbreaking, madam president. i remain h
