"Today’s offshore wind project announcement demonstrates that we can fight the climate crisis, while creating high-paying jobs and strengthening our competitiveness at home and abroad,” said Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo in a statement. “This project is an example of the investments we need to achieve the Biden-Harris administration’s ambitious climate goals, and I’m proud to be part of the team leading the charge on offshore wind.” Since 2017, the Vineyard Wind project has been subject to a federal review process that generated more than 30,000 public comments, more than 90% of which supported the project, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
