Jobs through #offshorewind is one economic solution through #jobs and manufacturing that we can look forward to in these COVID times.
More offshore wind = more good jobs. 🌬️👷♀️🛠️ New analysis from @RystadEnergy shows demand for #OSW staff will triple over the next decade, with the U.S. being a major driver for industry growth: bit.ly/3aKFqPX #GreenJobs #NYOffshoreWind (via @OEdigital)

U.S. Reps Kathleen Rice + Bill Pascrell, Jr. sent bipartisan letter w/ members of NY + NJ delegations to @BOEM_DOI requesting to designate Wind Energy Areas in NY Bight, hold lease auctions for developers. Director Joe Martens @jjmartens7 quoted. Scoop: nyowa.org/press-releases

Thanks to @RepKathleenRice and @BillPascrell and all representatives who support offshore wind. It's smart energy and economic development policy and new Administration in D.C. is listening.
I led a bipartisan letter to @BOEM_DOI with @BillPascrell urging the federal government to greenlight new offshore wind projects in the New York Bight after years of delays.
Offshore wind will help us end our dependence on fossil fuels and jump-start the clean energy economy.

The Future is Wind Energy!
The potential to power 6 million homes, create 50,000 jobs, & attract $29 billion in private investment is a win for the economy, environment & local communities.
Our future blowing in the wind! #Windsday @BOEM_DOI nwsdy.li/3d195WC

Great @Newsday editorial on the importance of projects like @SouthForkWind to deliver clean energy and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. We cannot let “baseless NIMBY concerns” derail the fight “that’s vital to the health of our region.”

Excellent. #Offshorewind is having a moment, and none too soon. Green energy can put the wind in Long Island's sails newsday.com/opinion/editoria… via @Newsday

"...But baseless NIMBY concerns, like those raised by some Wainscott residents against the landing of an underground cable in that South Fork community, cannot be allowed to derail this fight that’s vital to the health of our region."

"There’s a lot at stake in the state’s overall green energy program, besides the juice capable of powering 6M homes. @NYGovCuomo says it will create more than 50k jobs & attract $29B in private investment. Good environmental policy is good economic policy" newsday.com/amp/opinion/edit…

@NewsdayOpinion: Green energy can put the wind in Long Island's sails. Offshore wind is having a moment, and none too soon.
Now, the winds of change are blowing mostly in the right direction. #offshorewind #nyoffshorewind newsday.com/opinion/editoria…

Offshore wind is about the future of New York, it's about supporting our critical climate goals and building a renewable energy economy that will create local, family-wage jobs.

The economic benefits of renewable energy projects will allow local governments to maintain services, hold down taxes, all while we put thousands of New Yorkers back to work with family-supporting jobs. newsday.com/opinion/editoria…

"There’s a lot at stake in the state’s overall green energy program... Cuomo says it also will create more than 50K jobs and attract $29 billion in private investment. Good environmental policy is good economic policy, too."

Lots of appeals today from Long Islanders, like Judith, for BOEM to complete its review and approve the South Fork project. Long Island is ground zero in the battle against the #ClimateCrisis. @NYOffshoreWind will testify Thursday.

A cable in your road or flooding ruining your quality of life? Addressing climate change is critical and we need to act now. #offshorewind @BOEM_DOI @SouthForkWind
