'The waters off the Pacific coast offer a massive resource for offshore wind power,' says UCSUSA's John Rogers after the sale of $757 million in Pacific coast wind leases. 'These new leases are a big step forward for floating offshore wind technology.'
"If we build on today's forward momentum, the United States can dramatically reduce its global warming emissions and become a global leader in renewable energy technologies like deep-water offshore wind."Climate and environmental campaigners on Wednesday hailed the first-ever U.S. government offshore wind power lease sale off the Pacific coast, an auction that drew over three-quarters of a billion dollars in winning bids.
The U.S. Interior Department said Wednesday that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's wind energy auction on Tuesday for five leases covering 373,000 acres off the California coast drew winning bids totaling $757.1 million from five companies. "The Biden-Harris administration believes that to address the climate crisis head-on, we must unleash a new era of clean, reliable energy that serves every household in America," U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a."Today's lease sale is further proof that industry momentum—including for floating offshore wind development—is undeniable."
"The high level of interest and investment in these leases by offshore wind industry leaders and elected officials demonstrates a widespread, long-term commitment to doing what it takes to grow renewable energy and decarbonize the U.S. electric grid," he continued."It's encouraging to see projects like this that will help limit the devastating and deadly impacts of climate change on communities, the environment, and the economy.
