"The wind farms, in development off several East Coast states, are an essential part of how those states plan to meet emissions reduction targets."
"This was going to be the year that offshore wind energy made a giant leap in the United States. Then the coronavirus arrived.
An offshore wind trade group said its main concern is the health of its workers, but the group also worries that the virus will slow or stop work throughout the chain of suppliers and other service providers.
This could be said for just about any industry, but offshore wind is different in that it is in a formative stage, with almost no projects up and running, and more than a dozen in various phases of development along the East Coast. As a result, the industry faces challenges much greater than simply pausing work in an established supply chain."
