Construction is underway on New York's first offshore wind project.
South Fork Wind is being jointly developed by Ørsted and Eversource, and is expected to come online in 2023.
The project positions New York to lead the nation in offshore wind development, according to Doreen M. Harris, president and CEO of the New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA). She said it would establish a robust supply chain for future projects.
"We are solidifying New York State's clean energy vision," Harris said.
New York's goal is to develop 9 GW of offshore wind by 2035. In January, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that the state would invest $500 million to set up manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure for offshore wind.
South Fork Wind Farm is a 132 MW project to be sited 19 miles southeast of Block Island, Rhode Island. The project is approved to install 12 or fewer wind turbines and is expected to use Siemens-Gamesa’s 11 MW turbines. Kiewit Offshore Services won a contract to will design and build the project’s substation.
When I was young, I heard someone say, “The first execution this country televises will be the last one ever performed here.”
I think he was right at that time. You’d have millions of people watch that barbarism and realize that it was done in their name.
But today, we’re a far more insensitive, brutal, and stupid people that we were 50 years ago. If you doubt that, just look at the quality of the people at the top of the federal government–people like RFK, Jr., Hegseth, and Trump.
As suggested at left, the world will never forget that the launch pad for all the destruction during Trump’s second term was our nation’s failure to prosecute the criminal sociopath for his attempted overthrow of the U.S. federal government on January 6, 2021.
Had these acts of treason been dealt with swiftly, all of this would have been avoided.
The answer will probably surprise you.
