Climate Conversations: Offshore Wind

Offshore wind is one of the many sources of clean electricity being implemented as part of the push to decarbonize the grid. As states vet and approve projects, scientists, policymakers, and communities are working to better understand the potential economic and environmental impacts of offshore wind. Susan Phillips (WHYY) moderated a discussion between Josh Kohut (Rutgers University) and Tricia Jedele (TNC) that discussed the potential benefits and challenges presented by offshore wind, what the current economic and policy landscape for implementing the technology is, and considerations for future projects.
