He was reported saying, \u201cthere is simply no reason the blades for wind turbines can\u2019t be built in Pittsburgh instead of Beijing. No reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Except, in reality, most of the manufacturing jobs will actually be created in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The Vineyard Wind project, off the coast of Massachusetts, is expected to produce enough electricity to power 400,000 homes in New England by 2023. The windfarm is a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid Inc. which is part of the Iberdrola group.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wonderful news from our partner <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VineyardWindUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@VineyardWindUS<\/a>! &#8220;Today\u2019s Record of Decision is not about the start of a single project, but the launch of a new industry,&#8221; says Vineyard Wind CEO Lars Pederson.

To get things moving, developers would need to see a deep pipeline of approved U.S. projects, along with a clear set of regulatory incentives like federal and state tax breaks.<\/p>\n<p>Christy Guthman, commercial leader of U.S. offshore at General Electric\u2019s renewable division, also said that opening a factory would be costly and time consuming. It would require permits and large amounts of space near the coast.<\/p>\n<p>Guthman\u2019s company is set to supply Vineyard Wind with 62 turbines. However, the major parts for those turbines, which are twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, will be made in its factories in France.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s administration has unveiled a goal to install 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power capacity by 2030. That is roughly the amount that already exists in Europe\u2019s two-decade-old industry.<\/p>\n<p>Experts have estimated more than 2,000 turbines will be needed to meet that target, but U.S. factories probably won\u2019t be finished until 2024 or 2025. This would mean those jobs may not materialize until after Biden\u2019s time in the White House is up.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-offers-928b-in-response-to-bidens-infrastructure-plan\/\">GOP Offers $928B In Response To Biden\u2019s Infrastructure Plan<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Employees with Ipsun Solar install solar panels on the roof of the Peace Lutheran Church in Alexandria, Virginia on May 17, 2021.
