Now is the time to prepare a big offshore wind play. Trump is nationalizing parts of companies like Intel & US Steel. Let’s use industrial policy for good– advancing OSW for low cost energy, good jobs, & decarbonization. Read the full report: climateandcommunity.org/research/off...

A federal Offshore Wind Authority can use public sector power to bring online a massive amount of durable & affordable electricity. With low cost finance and coordination capacity, the government can help launch OSW over key structural hurdles.
