The eye-popping $4.37 billion offered by bidders in February for six wind-energy leases in the New York Bight is the highest-grossing competitive offshore energy lease sale in history - including oil and gas sales, according to the U.S Department of Interior. "This week's offshore wind sale makes one thing clear: the enthusiasm for the clean energy economy is undeniable and it's here to stay," Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a statement. "The investments we are seeing today will play an important role in delivering on the Biden-Harris administration's commitment to tackle the climate crisis and create thousands of good-paying, union jobs across the nation." |
