Paul Forsberg watched as the Block Island Wind Farm pilot project with its five turbines was assembled in 2016 off Rhode Island. He saw a crowd on an island beach, gazing at the new wind generators and chattering with enthusiasm. "I don't know if these things are going to work," Forsberg said then. "But they're coming." In 2020, Forsberg started Offshore Wind Farm Support LLC, a consulting firm to help offshore wind developers with their needs for U.S.-flag vessels to do geophysical survey work, and onboard observers to meet regulatory requirements. Today Forsberg works with almost all of the offshore wind developers off the U.S. East Coast. "I'm an advocate because it's going to create a lot of jobs," said Forsberg. But he is also a cautionary voice for offshore wind companies. |
