Three events Wednesday highlighted the uneven progress of the offshore wind industry in the northeastern U.S.
FILE - Turbines operate at the Block Island Wind Farm, Dec. 7, 2023, off the coast of Block Island, R.I. The Massachusetts Senate debated a bill Tuesday, June 25, 2024 aimed at expanding the adoption of renewable energy in a bid to to help Massachusetts get one step closer to meeting its aggressive climate goals, including reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Vineyard Wind said Wednesday that it has removed 17 cubic yards of debris, enough to fill more than six truckloads, along with several larger pieces that washed ashore. The debris was mostly non-toxic fiberglass fragments ranging in size from small pieces to larger sections, typically green or white.
“We’re making progress in the debris recovery efforts and mobilizing even more resources on the island to hasten the cleanup as quickly as possible,” the company’s CEO Klaus Moeller said in a statement. “The public can have confidence that we will be here as long as it takes to get the job done.
And New Jersey officials on Wednesday said they would make nearly $5 million available for scientific research projects to document current environmental conditions in areas where wind farms are planned, as well as to predict and prevent potential harm to the environment or wildlife.
