thank you for some specific study references from NAP (the National Academies). The onshore studies are relevant for above the water impacts, but actual biota and location (hurricanes) of specific marine project sites will show some differences. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has an environmental ...

We are way behind Europe on this excellent source of clean energy, but catching up. The 800 MW MA offshore wind (OSW) project (Vineyard Wind) is finishing its turbines now and will be sending wind power to New England soon. The impact statement was delayed by the last federal administration At 1 ...

Water, water. Like electricity, local supply and use makes a lot of sense (of course, water has the advantage of being renewable/recycled, too!) Recycling improves the efficiency of our use (although some would say the extra cost and energy is not economical ;( Which brings up to the bigger ...

We need to be innovative and design for systems, but we alway need to be careful about the date of references on the web for examples of new tech. Unfortunately, this Swansea project has posted nothing since 2020, so the local politics (as mentioned in other comments) may have played a part in scuttling ...

Yes, tide height matters, but flood depth could generate energy, too (for short periods of time). Clean water power turbines might be economic even for once or twice a year flood events. ------------------------------ Sarah Simon P.E., ENV SP, M.ASCE Founding Partner Ipswich MA ------------ ...
