Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden's administration on Tuesday approved a plan to build the United States' largest ever offshore wind farm, which would power hundreds of thousands of homes with clean energy. Dominion Energy's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project is located 23.5 nautical miles off Virginia Beach and marks the fifth such offshore wind plan under the Biden administration, which has come under fire from environmentalists for also greenlighting several new major fossil fuel leases. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said in a statement the decision demonstrated the governm...

The administration of President Joe Biden has set a goal of generating 30 gigawatts of energy from offshore wind by 2030. The 800-megawatt Vineyard Wind project would provide enough power for 400,000 homes and businesses, the Interior...
