"It's maybe the best ironworking job I ever had" - we're glad to hear it, @IW_IMPACT! Last week, we finished building 50%+ of @SunriseWindNY's AFCs. You can hear more from our state and local partners here below! @nylcv @NYSERDA @riggsdistler #offshorewind #americanjobs #NewYork

[Ørsted U.S. @OrstedUS]

Attention, New York – today, we’ve officially broken ground on @SunriseWindNY! Thank you to @GovKathyHochul, @NYSERDA, @BOEM, and many others for joining us today to celebrate NY’s largest offshore wind farm.

Our team at @BloombergNEF published our 10th annual Electric Vehicle Outlook today!
A quick thread on some key findings:

[Robinson Meyer @robinsonmeyer]

If this holds, it is a generational setback for climate policy in the United States. Worse than the Mountain Valley pipeline. Worse than the Willow oil project in Alaska. Making drivers pay to pollute in city centers is a TIER ONE climate policy issue in America.

[Ric O'Connell @RicOConnell8]

What's going on with rooftop solar? It is in a bad place in the US, with persistent high costs, utility attacks, and a lack of coherent vision. @JesseJenkins recently asked about rooftop costs which got me thinking - we need to radically retool our rooftop solar industry. 🧵

[Tyler Norris @tylerhnorris]

I can’t recall the last time I was so concerned about the US energy trajectory, as major utilities maneuver for mass gas capacity expansion in the face of load growth. Unless course is changed, US 2030/2035 GHG goals are effectively dead. (1/10)

[Doreen Harris @Doreen_M_Harris]

Proud of @NYSERDA’s expedited #OffshoreWind solicitation & robust competition/evaluation. @GovKathyHochul announcement reflects NYS commitment to @OrstedUS and @EquinorWindUS who will deliver @SunriseWindNY and Empire Wind I in the very near term. https://t.co/qPcJ2H3cFB

@jeffsaintjohn @MLiebreich @JesseJenkins Hot panel!

[Karl-Erik Stromsta @KEStromsta]

@solarmj True but it also crushes the hope and suspense aspect, and the euphoria of good news in the morning!

“This is the future!"

Our Americas region CEO @DavidHardyUS and head of NY market Jennifer Garvey joined @CBSMornings to showcase progress on New York's first offshore wind farm, @SouthForkWind. Soon, we’ll be able to power more than 70,000 homes on Long Island with clean energy

[South Fork Wind @SouthForkWind]

"This is the future."

Join @CBSNews @benstracy for a close-up look at #SouthForkWind and hear how this trailblazing project is setting the foundation for the growth of the American offshore wind industry.

[Secretary Jennifer Granholm @SecGranholm]

Historic moment for clean energy in the U.S.

The first utility-scale offshore wind farm in federal waters has begun delivering power to the NY electric grid.

This is what @POTUS' Investing in America agenda is all about. 🇺🇸⚡️

[Ørsted U.S. @OrstedUS]

⚡First Power⚡

@SouthForkWind is officially delivering its first power, becoming the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in U.S. federal waters to begin providing clean, offshore wind energy to the grid!

[Karl-Erik Stromsta @KEStromsta]

@van_stratt Nailed it

[South Fork Wind @SouthForkWind]

*** Offshore wind has arrived in the Empire State ***

[Ørsted U.S. @OrstedUS]

The first South Fork Wind turbine has successfully been installed! The @SouthForkWind team has completed installation of the project’s first 11 MW wind turbine generator, another significant milestone for New York’s first offshore wind project.

US land use comparison. If existing utility-scale solar grows 10X, it will cover land equivalent to approximately 3% of currently planted acreage for corn & soybeans and 1.6X the area used for parking spaces.

$13 billion of major new power lines are advancing in the US in an attempt to connect far-flung wind and solar resources to cities that need power

It's one of the most critical steps to realizing goals of cutting CO2 emissions from the American power grid

"Nobody sat down in 1900 and worked out how to do this. If they had, the conclusion would have been that it was not possible for reasons of cost, technology, risk, and NIMBYism." https://t.co/srHN5984g2
