New York State $6 billion offshore wind industry plan
Andrew Cuomo
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a plan to develop 2.4 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
Governor Andrew Cuomo unveiled a plan earlier this month to develop $6 billion of offshore wind projects off the southern coast of Long Island by 2028 and predicted that the industry would bring 5 000 jobs to the state. The plan calls for developing 2.4 gigawatts — enough to power 1.2 million homes — by 2030.
"While the federal government continues to turn its back on protecting natural resources and plots to open up our coastline to drilling  New York is doubling down on our commitment to renewable energy and the industries of tomorrow "  Cuomo  said in a statement.
 Cuomo  has asked Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke for an exemption from the drilling plan  saying in an open letter that the plan "undermines New York's efforts to combat climate change by shifting from greenhouse gas emitting fossil energy sources to renewable sources  such as offshore wind."
