Biden Administration
Grants Approval To
Create Nation’s Largest
Offshore Wind Farm.
On May 11, Joe Biden’s administration approved the
long-stalled offshore wind development project
off the coast of Massachusetts.
The 84-turbine project will
cost $2.8 billion and be built
just 12 nautical miles south
of Martha’s Vineyard. .
The turbines will be located at least one nautical mile apart
and be spread across over 160,000 acres. .
Construction is expected to create about 3,600 new jobs,
with the project slated to come online by 2023.
Once completed, it will be the nation’s largest offshore wind farm
and have the ability to power approximately 400,000 homes. .
[This is a] significant milestone
in our efforts to build a clean and
more equitable energy future while
addressing the climate emergency …
I believe that a clean energy future is
within our grasp in the United States, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, via Huffpost.
The Biden administration established a multi-agency target
of deploying 30,000 megawatts of wind energy by 2030. .
That would be enough to cut
78 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions
and power 10 million homes for a year.
