US Offshore Wind Decision Hailed As Big Step Forward For Clean Energy
In the wake of the Earth Day action by President Barack Obama and Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar on new guidelines clearing the way for major offshore wind projects, the following statement was issued by Clean Power Now and TheClean.org.
"The step announced by President Obama and Secretary Salazar represents the biggest federal step forward to date for clean energy in the United States. The Administration deserves a great deal of credit for moving ahead to deliver sustainable offshore wind energy for America.
The action sets out a clear process for moving ahead with major offshore wind projects up and down the East Coast. This decision paves the way for a new offshore wind energy industry that will transform the discussion about tapping the abundant offshore clean energy."
