Anchors aweigh for the first commercial offshore wind farm in the US
30 years after Europe’s first offshore wind farm, the US is building its first industrial-scale offshore wind farm, 15 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. It will be home to the world’s most powerful wind turbines, and is expected to help the US transition to a new clean energy economy and reach the Biden administration’s goal of 30GW of wind power by 2030.
President Biden wants to give billions in extra funding to clean up abandoned oil and gas wells contaminating the air, soil and groundwater. But why must taxpayers foot the bill?
