The incoming Biden administration will elevate offshore wind energy's prospects in the U.S. energy portfolio, and industry advocates sound increasingly confident. Wind energy occupied a curious position in politics of the Trump administration - often mocked and belittled by the president in public even as his own former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) forged ahead enabling plans for 15 East Coast offshore projects and studying prospects off California. There will be no such ambiguity in a Biden administration - more likely a replay of 2010, when then-Interior Secretary Ken Salazar predicted offshore wind would become a major U.S. energy source. |
