Offshore
Could America leapfrog the rest of the world on offshore wind? That’s Biden’s plan. Currently the US only produces 42 MW from offshore wind, putting it in 9th place; the UK leads with 10,206 MW, narrowly ahead of China. Biden’s goal is to increase capacity to 30,000 MW by 2030, enough to power 10 million homes with clean energy, while creating 44,000 jobs and avoiding 78 million metric tons of CO2, equivalent to taking 17 million cars off the road. Of course, the rest of the world will power ahead. This is a race to the top. Everyone wins.
