Offshore Wind Energy Offshore Wind Power: Building Our Clean Energy Future
American offshore wind power is an exciting emerging energy which will reduce pollution, protect wildlife, and create jobs all along the coast. Learn more about how offshore wind is being planned, developed, and operated responsibly!
To achieve the clean energy goals needed for a healthy climate, we must harness the abundant offshore wind resource off U.S. shores. Offshore wind power can be developed responsibly, in a manner that protects marine and coastal wildlife every step of the way. That is why we work with a broad coalition of partners to ensure this industry fuels a new energy chapter, in which communities and wildlife can thrive.
