BlueGreen Alliance Submits Comments on Proposed Sale Notice for Commercial Leasing for Wind Power Development on the U.S. States Central Atlantic coast.
On behalf of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA), our partners, and the millions of members and supporters they represent, we thank the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for the opportunity to comment on the Proposed Sale Notice (PSN) for Commercial Leasing for Wind Power Development on the U.S. States Central Atlantic coast.
The mission of BGA is to unite labor unions and environmental organizations to solve today’s environmental challenges in a way that creates and maintains quality jobs and builds a clean, prosperous, and equitable economy. Offshore wind energy presents a unique and integral opportunity to accomplish this mission if developed in a way that uplifts the middle class with high-road employment practices, equitable career pathways, maximum job creation, and creation of a domestic supply chain. We appreciate BOEM’s concerted effort to achieve the Biden-Harris administration’s national goal of deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy by 2030 and set us on a pathway to continuously scale up the U.S. offshore wind industry in the coming decades, including in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore Virginia and Delaware.
