President Biden wants to make offshore wind generation a huge contributor to coastal regional energy grids where most Americans live.
wants to make offshore wind generation a huge contributor to coastal regional energy grids where most Americans live. The breath and width of the enormous proposal eventually could solve many of the world's energy needs for a long time to come.
The U.S. Energy Department says floating turbines could produce up to 2.8 terawatts of clean energy, more than twice America's current electricity demand. "There's a huge potential energy here but the other thing to remember about offshore wind is that it's three to four times more expensive than onshore wind," said UC Energy Institute Economist Professor James Bushnell.
As to cluttering up coastal scenery, even giant wind generators 800 feet tall, can be put out of site and out of mind. "These offshore wind farms would be 20 miles offshore so basically beyond the view that people would have on most days," said Mr. Stern.
