Great read by @aelennon1 on how 2 industries can work together. "Fishermen may not like offshore wind, but some work for it" newbedfordlight.org/fisherme… #offshorewind

Massachusetts is all-in on offshore wind. @MassDOER is filing a historic draft RFP for Massachusetts’ fourth offshore wind solicitation – the biggest in New England’s history. It’s a commitment to ratepayers to chase after all clean energy for our homes and businesses.
Massachusetts is all-in on offshore wind. Healey-Driscoll administration files historic draft RFP for New England’s largest-ever offshore wind solicitation. This RFP would be a major boost to Massachusetts’ offshore wind industry – requesting proposals for offshore wind projects generating up to 25% of the state’s annual electricity demand. That means cleaner air, lower bills, and good-paying jobs for Massachusetts. We’re also requiring projects to include support for environmental justice communities and residents living with low income.
