Offshore oil drilling planned for the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast states naturally threatens the tourism economy which is one of the reasons we are against it. But a new report by Oceana shows that there are more jobs to be had in offshore wind development than in oil drilling. See their state-by-state reports on this here http://oceana.org/publications/reports/offshore-energy-numbers
The Maryland specific numbers are here http://oceana.org/sites/default/files/md_offshoreenergy_op.pdf
