Oil or wind off the Maine coast?

State geologist Robert Marvinney, director of the Maine Geological Survey, will testify today before the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources, according to the state Department of Conservation. Why? It's a three-part hearing on offshore drilling policy. Marvinney doesn't think offshore drilling in the Georges Bank region is a good idea because it could hurt the fisheries industry. "We ought to use these areas for the best possible use, and for the Gulf of Maine, that's wind power," he said in a statement. After Marvinney and state officials from around the country testify today, the oil and gas industry will get their chance on Wednesday.
