 Offshore Wind Energy Overcoming Federal Headwinds Tuesday, November 18, 7 PM (Free) <https://reewmz.clicks.mlsend.com/tj/c/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjE0MTg0OTEsXCJsXCI6MTY5NjgyNzI0OTUwMzc4MTc0LFwiclwiOjE2OTY4Mjc0MzA1MTk0NTg5Nn0iLCJzIjoiOTkxOTkyZmM0ZDk2NjY3MyJ9> Offshore wind presents a generational opportunity to deliver renewable energy, decarbonize industry, stimulate economic growth, and catalyze the revival of shoreline infrastructure. Offshore wind can be deployed at gigawatt-scale without the significant land use, siting, and viewshed concerns associated with onshore renewables. Furthermore, offshore wind taps into strong and consistent ocean winds that allow electricity to be produced efficiently, particularly during nighttime and wintertime when onshore renewables are less productive. Although a cornerstone of northeast U.S. states’ decarbonization and energy reliability strategy, offshore wind is facing unprecedented impacts from adverse Federal actions in 2025. Stop work orders for fully permitted projects under construction, threats to withdraw permits granted under previous presidential administrations, executive orders obstructing the issuance of Federal permits under this administration, and tariff policies that increase supply chain costs have all stymied progress in tapping into this critical resource.
