Revolution Wind off the coast of Rhode Island & Connecticut started to come online today 3/13! It'll come fully online in stages. Once spun up it roughly quadruples US offshore wind capacity. Partially because it's pretty big! Partially because we were very, very behind rest of world.
And there's several other megaprojects about to come online within the next year. The permits are the remaining choke point for US Atlantic coast offshore wind. Infrastructure issues are largely solved or under construction. (west coast is a different issue)
This could very well be the start of the curve on a GOOD hockey stick graph for green power adoption. One we're overdue on.
and this is coming online despite Trump admin's attempts to kill it in at near completion. Courts stepped in. And as those others come online & provide power and DATA about how they work, expect many, many suits about permits denied for no good reason.
