A report called Winds of Prosperity touted the nexus of the offshore wind industry in New England , job creation — especially for unions — and economic development.

President-elect Donald Trump for years has stated his hatred for offshore wind.

The Biden administration set a goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030 .

Lamont cast today ’s wind decision in the broader context of turning to more affordable sources of renewable energy.

“Every state has got different priorities about how we increase capacity, which is how, ultimately, we’re going to bring down the cost of electricity and do it in as green away as we can, Lamont said.
