WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it will help develop up to seven offshore wind farms on the East and West coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico as it moves to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030 — generating enough electricity to power more than 10 million homes.
If approved and built, the projects could avoid about 78 million metric tons of planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions, officials said.
President Joe Biden has set a goal to deploy 30 gigawatts, or 30,000 megawatts, of offshore wind power in the United States by 2030. Meeting the target could mean jobs for more than 44,000 workers and for 33,000 others in related employment, the White House said.

“By 2025”.
Good. Then Trump or DeSantis can cancel the entire project, just as Biden cancelled the Keystone Pipeline and the Wall.
And not one will be off Martha’s Vineyard...
Or redirect the project to the Mexican Border to power the Krieg lights on the wall.
Offshore is where these belong.
They’ll be just as useless there as on land, but at least we won’t have stare at them.
The Fraternal Order of Pelicans and Seagulls have filed a request for a Restraining Order against the Biden Regime.
Put them in front of the Obama and Kennedy estates.
Good money up a wild hog’s arse.
Just off Malibu and Martha’s Vineyard would be perfect.
Where will they put the blades when they wear out? They have been burying them.
We need CO2 to support plant life. As the world population has grown, so has CO2...necessary to feed the masses.
Disadvantages of offshore wind:
The biggest disadvantage of an offshore wind farm is the cost. Offshore wind farms can be expensive to build and maintain and because of their hard to reach locations, they are susceptible to damage from very high-speed winds during storms or hurricanes which is expensive to repair.
The effect of offshore wind farms on marine life and birds are not yet fully understood.
Offshore wind farms that are built closer to coastlines (generally within 26 miles) can be unpopular with residents as it can affect property values and tourism.
Californios and everyone else should be furious about the millions of birds these stupid things kill.
Texas oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens, who died a few years ago, was a big supporter of wind power until he realized how many millions of birds they killed. California environmentalist will have hissy fits to the max when birds start washing up onshore. I’d be furious too.
Met Pickens once when he was running for Repub nomination for prez, liked him. Personable as all get out and nobody’s fool.
I call him T Nose Pickens.
That should make for a lovely ocean view...
They already tried it near The Vineyard..but It went nowhere.
.
.
That was my first thought. Now they can just dump the old blades in the ocean instead of burying them.
Was recently reading about the effects from offshore wind on the crustacean lifeforms
Crabs are mesmerized by the electromagnetism and it’s changing their habits
A good CAT 4 or 5 will get those babies cranking !
