Go Big On Offshore Wind

Whether it’s Cape Cod, the Outer Banks or along the Pacific Coast Highway, you’ve felt the winds that seem to blow more steadily and strongly at the beach than anywhere else. Tapping into them is key to repowering our lives with clean, renewable energy.

In the past few years, a number of states on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts have made commitments to offshore wind — enough, in fact, to power more than 34 million homes by 2035. But given the enormous potential across all our coasts, these commitments barely scratch the surface.

Wind technology is advanced, affordable and proven. Wind power prices are steadily dropping. Unlocking more of offshore wind power’s potential depends on the leadership of coastal states, their governors and federal regulators. But it also depends on you.
