U.S. Plans Record Offshore Wind Sale
The Biden administration on Wednesday outlined a range of measures to speed the growth of clean energy on the U.S. power grid, including the government's largest-ever sale of offshore wind leases in waters off the coast of New York and New Jersey.
The announcement, which seeks to advance President Joe Biden's ambitious climate change agenda, comes as sweeping legislation to support those goals is stalled in Congress. It is aligned with Biden's pledge to take an "all-of-government" approach to fight global warming and decarbonize the U.S. electricity grid by 2035.
The White House is "continuing to pursue this agenda every way we know-how," a senior administration official said on a briefing call with reporters on Tuesday.
In a wide-ranging memo, the administration unveiled actions being taken by seven federal agencies that it says will accelerate deployment of wind and solar projects while creating well-paying jobs, a cornerstone of Biden's pledge to voters during his presidential campaign.

...and an array of oil platforms.
Both destroy ecosystems and I note, particularly with reference to that hellhole Germany which has been burning oodles of coal this week that the wind industry is useless without fossil fuels.
If one opposes fossil fuels, one is a fool to embrace the wind industry, since the wind industry is just a smiley face posted on the signage of fossil fuel mines.
