The 141 turbine South Coast Wind project is proposed to be located 20 miles south of Nantucket, and is projected to produce enough energy to power 840,000 average homes when it is completed.
“Every offshore wind farm that gets built off our shores moves our nation closer to a greener and healthier future,” said Johanna Neumann, Senior Director of the Campaign for 100% Renewable Energy at Environment America Research & Policy Center. “If all eleven approved wind farms get built, millions of American households will be powered by the winds blowing off our shores, with none of the pollution that harms our planet or the health of our loved ones.”
29 states have offshore wind potential. America’s offshore wind resources are big enough to produce more electricity than the nation currently consumes.
