The Biden administration is partnering with 11 East Coast states to accelerate development of offshore wind facilities and create jobs by supporting a domestic supply chain for the industry, the White House said on Thursday.
With this development, it is part of President Joe Biden’s effort to combat climate change by expanding clean energy technologies. The management set a target to increase the capacity from only 42 megawatts currently to 30 gigawatts by 2030 with 2 small projects.
“The partnership will support efforts to provide Americans with cleaner and cheaper energy, create well-paid jobs and make historic investments in new American energy supply chains, manufacturing, shipbuilding and services,” the White House statement said.
