A recent press release from the Sierra Club details the promise of new jobs and investment offshore wind energy development could bring to Wisconsin. Leaders and suppliers of wind energy met Wednesday, Feb. 8th to discuss the opportunities offshore wind energy can offer and strategies towards attracting offshore development to Great Lakes near Wisconsin.
Within the release, Mary Ann Christopher, partner at Michael Best & Friedrich, a Wisconsin Wind Works Alliance member, explains the potential offshore wind offers.
“Great opportunities await Wisconsin in the form of an incredible natural resource – the winds of Lake Michigan right here on our shores,” explains Christopher, also member of the Great Lakes Wind Collaborative. “Europe and Asia are leading the way with almost 4,000 MW of off-shore wind in operation and almost 6,000 MW more under construction. Wisconsin can follow suit, bringing jobs, investments, and clean energy home by developing offshore wind in the Great Lakes.”
