Offshore Wind
Offshore Wind
Coal- and gas-fired plants emit harmful, deadly pollution that threatens our health, safety, and our environment. By embracing offshore wind and phasing out coal, we are moving towards our goal of reaching net zero emissions, and ensuring that the future of our planet is clean, healthy, and free of pollution.
Why it matters
What is offshore wind?

Offshore wind is a renewable energy source that generates electricity by harnessing the power of wind. Unlike other fuel sources like coal or methane gas, offshore wind does not produce harmful, deadly pollution as a byproduct of energy generation.
Creating Jobs
The offshore wind sector is ready to employ up to 58,000 Americans every year from now until 2030, with high-paying, skilled careers in clean energy supported through shipbuilding, operations and maintenance ports, and the manufacturing of steel and components.
Right now, the United States is on track to produce enough electricity from offshore wind to power over 72 million homes by 2050.
What we are doing
Offshore wind is critical to combating climate change
We believe that bolstering offshore wind in the United States is critical to combating climate change and paving the path to a cleaner future. We are working from coast to coast to advocate for more investments in offshore wind, educate communities on the benefits of this resource, and push the energy sector to bolster its offshore wind projects.
Victory!
South Fork Wind, located off the coast of Rhode Island currently generates over 130 MW of clean electricity—enough to power up to 70,000 homes and businesses in Long Island, New York!
