Move America’s Offshore Wind Energy From Potential to Power
As leaders gather for the first in-person celebration of Capitol Hill Ocean Week in two years, we have a proposal for how to bridge the chasm between America's offshore wind energy ambition and current capacity.
The gap is sizable. At present, the U.S. has only two operational offshore wind farms with a total output of just 42 megawatts. Getting to 30 gigawatts (a hundred times larger than megawatts) by 2030, the target set by the Biden-Harris administration, requires increasing wind energy generation by a staggering 700 times.
