       Delmarva says land-based wind power will mean savings
            Delmarva Power and Old Dominion Electric
Cooperative have selected the six winning bidders seeking to bring
land-based wind power to the region.
         According to Delmarva power officials, the winning bidders
submitted guaranteed prices for 15- to 20-year contracts.
         Delmarva Power president Gary Stockbridge says the long-term
commitments for land-based wind power would cost significantly less
than power from a proposed offshore wind farm.   Stockbridge says the
savings equals $240 per year for the typical residential customer.
         Delmarva says a comprehensive filing, including a comparison to
the current Bluewater Wind offshore proposal, will be submitted to
the Delaware Public Service Commission in June.

       Watermen worried about limits on crab harvest
      Chesapeake Bay watermen and seafood
processors fear new limits on blue crab harvests will ruin their
business.
         About 200 commercial fishermen were present in Cambridge on
Wednesday evening for a hearing on the proposed regulations.
         Under the regulations, the harvest of female crabs would end
Oct.   23, during prime time for harvesters.   Companies that pick crab
meat fear they'll lose customers to foreign competitors.
         The restrictions imposed by Maryland and Virginia are aimed at
reducing the annual harvest of females by one-third.
         Maryland's Administrative Executive Legislative Review Committee
will make the final decision on the regulations.
