As the world struggles to provide clean, inexpensive sources of energy, some countries are exploring the use of wind energy as a key alternative.
The Binden administration has pledged to double the use of the US Coast Guard by 2030 to 30 GW to power nearly 10 million homes this year.
Wind energy is renewable, which means it fills itself naturally (other examples include solar energy through sunlight), and studies have found that costs are declining. The International Renewable Energy Agency, a state-owned enterprise, estimates that coastal wind will decrease by 55% by 2030, from 11.5 cents per hour to 5.4 cents per kilowatt.
“This puts it in amazing natural gas,” said Massachusetts Regional League president Elizabeth Henry.
Wind power is produced with the help of turbine knives and other electric generators. Oceans can be disrupted by mountains or buildings.
According to the United States Government-funded research company National Renewable Energy Laboratory, there has been significant growth in the global navy over the past decade. Although wind production is relatively low compared to renewable resources such as natural gas and coal, the pace of growth is attracting international attention.
The global wind power industry has grown by more than 53% from 2019 to 2020, and investment in coastal wind is expected to grow. By 2020, $ 303 billion has been reached, according to the Global Wind Energy Council.
International competition on wind power
Great Britain, Germany, and China had the greatest potential. There is a National Renewable Energy Laboratory that will generate the amount of energy that will be generated if the generators fully explode in 2019 to generate wind power. In July, the think tank Bipartisan Policy Center warned that the United States could slow down as other countries develop more and more renewable energy sources.
“Without a concerted national effort to deploy this technology, the United States is now in the throes of a global hurricane,” the report said.
At a July 29 hearing in the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, Florida Democrat Ted Deutsch said most of the renewable energy technology is produced from unconventional minerals such as neodymium and dystrophs – China has strong fortifications.
“I hope that the market will be left alone with China, and I hope that the United States and the European Union will work to create supply chains by reusing these essential minerals for environmental development,” he said.
Wind power development in the United States is largely left to the states – they are responsible for most project planning and implementation, and approval comes from the federal government. Massachusetts runs the nation’s most planned beach wind tunnels nationwide, along with nine ocean energy management offices.
Some energy resource analysts say more federal involvement is needed for success.

To double the coastal wind power in the United States by 2030, President Biden’s promise to increase steel and manufacturing production and accelerate lease sales will require the White House.
This year, the United States has expanded coastal areas along California and the East Coast and plans to lease at least 16 coastal wind farms by 2025, which the White House says will meet two-thirds of the 2030 energy target.
Back to the completion of a beach project
Many coastal fans and opponents will see their eyes on the vineyard, which, if successful, will be the country’s first commercial measure of the beach wind project. It was approved by the Ocean Energy Management Bureau in May.
Plans for the project include the installation of 62 turbines 15 miles south of Cape Cod. When fully operational, it meets 10% of the state’s energy needs or operates 400,000 homes. Most of the state’s energy is now natural gas and ethanol.
When asked to comment at 10 public meetings and the Office of Ocean Energy Management, more than half of the comments came from residents, business owners, government agencies and the general public. But some people in the fishing industry say they are endangering their lives, and the solar company has sued the federal government for ignoring hazards that could harm endangered species and endanger the local fishing industry.
The controversy is reminiscent of the 2001 Cape Wind Project. It was about five miles[5 km]from the coast of Cape Cod.
During the 16 years of project development, Cape Wind has faced dozens of lawsuits and protests along the coast. A.D. In a 2005 article for the New York Times, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited the noise of anthrax, the high cost of coastal winds, and the negative impact on the environment and the fishing industry, citing residents’ common concerns.
Continuous legal action was effective – the project was delayed for years, and Cape Wind lost its contracts. The $ 2.6 billion project was abandoned in 2017 before construction began.
New resistance to coastal winds, and the future of America
Some members of the fishing industry have strongly opposed the new coastal wind project. The Office of Ocean Energy Management estimates that commercial fishing will completely cover 75,614 hectares of land around the vineyard. The turbines vary by one mile, and for some boats they are very close to sailing.
Hundreds of marine industry workers from across the country have signed a five-year ban on all coastal wind development. Fishing groups such as garden seafood. And Long Island commercial fishing. You made the same call.
Surfside Seafood Products Public Relations Officer Tom Dameron said the impact of the wind farm on the line would be “severe” for the company.
“There will be local overfishing, which will lead to clams on young people and young people,” Dameron said.
The wind farm has set up a compensation fund for fishermen, but Demeron says it is not enough to make up for the loss. He worries about the effects of dominoes on the beach and the company’s ability to harvest shrubs and shrubs.
The wind of the vineyard is expected A.D. Coastal construction begins in 2022, and the United States has many other overseas projects in its operations: 2020 saw more than triple the coastal wind turnover planned for 2019.
Beden plans to launch up to 10 additional environmental assessments of marine wind projects by 2021, a crucial step in advancing them. The Office of Ocean Energy Management has 18 active leases for wind farms in the United States, all located on the East Coast and leased over the past decade.
