"Biden administration greenlights largest US offshore wind farm off New Jersey coast, boosting state's wind industry"

The Biden administration has approved the Ocean Wind 1 project, the largest offshore wind energy project in the United States, off the coast of New Jersey. The project, developed by Ørsted, is expected to power up to 500,000 homes with nearly 100 wind turbines and create over 3,000 jobs. This approval marks a significant milestone for the American offshore wind sector, which has lagged behind Europe and Asia. However, the project has faced opposition due to concerns about its impact on marine life and fishing grounds. Construction is set to begin in the fall, with commercial operations expected to start in 2025.
