The wind farm project, which has a generating capacity of 1.3 gigawatts (GW), consists of 165 wind turbines located 89km offshore and spans an area of 462 sq. Each turbine blade is 81m long and blade tips reach more than 200m above sealevel. An offshore wind mega generation area. million UK homes.
C, we stand to lose ocean and coastal ecosystems we depend on to sealevel rise, warming temperatures, ocean acidification and other climate impacts. Since 2010 the cost of offshore wind has decreased by almost 50%, and the total installed capacity has increased by 17 times, only 7% of wind capacity installed in 2021 was from offshore.
It would halve the number of humans that will be exposed to water scarcity; prevent runaway sealevel rise that could put many of the world’s islands under water and render uninhabitable the large delta and low-coastal regions that are home to two-thirds of the world’s population. PSEG, a large utility in New Jersey will spend $2.8
In March 2021, the Biden Administration announced a target of deploying 30,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind capacity by 2030, enough energy to power approximately 10 million homes. As of May 31, 2022, only 42 MW of offshore wind capacity was in operation, less than 1% of the Administration’s 30,000-MW target.
There’s so much we could do with that taxpayer money to protect our ocean and communities and fight climate change: Double existing funding to help build enough offshore wind to power 10 million homes: $5 billion. Offshore windpower is a key ocean-based climate solution that we need to invest in.
The plaintiffs alleged that Peabody (and a number of other fossil fuel companies) caused greenhouse gas emissions that resulted in sealevel rise and damage to their property. Nonetheless, the court reviewed both the 2030 and 2050 targets set by the prior government’s Minister and ruled on their legality.
Hawai‘i Supreme Court Upheld Denial of Request to Re-Open Order Approving WindPower Purchase Agreement. The Hawai‘i Supreme Court held that the state’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) did not abuse its discretion when it declined to re-open a 2014 order that approved a Purchase Power Agreement for wind energy.
This measure effectively restores Obama-era methane regulations, which could eliminate emissions of 400,000 tons of methane through 2030.
