The Biden administration is partnering with 11 East Coast states to accelerate development of offshore wind facilities and create jobs by supporting a domestic supply chain for the industry, the White House said on Thursday.
The move is part of President Joe Biden's push to fight climate change by expanding clean energy technologies. That agenda has been weighed down recently by rising prices, particularly for gasoline.
Biden administration officials met with state governors and labor leaders at the White House on Thursday.Administration officials were also scheduled to meet with oil refiners, one day after Biden floated a gasoline tax holiday to help ease fuel costs for U.S. families and workers.The wind initiative will provide funding to create a domestic offshore wind supply chain and support a fleet of specialized vessels to build and service the projects, the White House said.
Congress is considering legislation to require those vessels to be staffed by American crews or mariners from the nation that matches the flag of the ship.
