Curtis Fisher, regional executive director of the National Wildlife Federation’s Northeast Regional Center, said today:
“For the first time today, a New York governor highlighted the important role offshore wind power must play in its energy future. It was one of a series of significant steps outlined by Gov. Cuomo today toward achieving his goal of getting 50 percent of New York’s power from clean, renewable energy by 2030. In a state with abundant wind and solar resources, that’s not just smart energy policy, it’s a sound plan for local jobs, economic growth, and a cleaner environment. We support Gov. Cuomo’s bold leadership and will continue urging New York to set a bold, clear target for wildlife-friendly offshore wind energy.”
