The United States offshore wind industry is tiny, with just seven wind turbines operating off Rhode Island and Virginia. The few attempts to build large-scale wind farms like Europe s have run into long delays, but that may be about to change.
The Biden administration announced on March 29, 2021, that it would accelerate the federal review process for offshore wind projects and provide more funding. It also set a goal: Develop 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind capacity this decade - enough to power 10 million homes with clean energy. To put that in perspective, the U.S. has just 42 megawatts today.
Several wind farm developers already hold leases in prime locations off the Eastern Seaboard, suggesting plenty of interest. So, will the government s new goals and promise of additional funding be enough to finally launch a thriving offshore wind industry?

Nine members named to Massachusetts new policing reform commission
By Chris Van Buskirk
A former Massachusetts Superior Court judge selected by Gov. Charlie Baker will head up the state s brand new commission tasked with certifying and holding police officers accountable.
The state s top executive and law enforcement official made public on Thursday their picks to the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission. The state s new policing reform law required Baker and Attorney General Maura Healey to appoint members to the POST Commission by April 1.
The nine-member commission is one of the central parts of the reform law Baker signed at the end of December. Lawmakers have previously said it is the only civilian-led entity with the power to craft policing standards, certify law enforcement officers, and revoke officers certifications if they violate those standards.
