The podcast episodes discuss the growing importance of floating offshore wind technology as a key enabler for tapping into the majority of the U.S. offshore wind resource potential, which is located in deep water areas where traditional bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines are not feasible.
The episodes highlight the Vineyard Wind project as an example of a major offshore wind development, and discuss the role of state policies, challenges like inflation and opposition, as well as the potential impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on the industry. They also cover career opportunities and transmission infrastructure needs in this emerging sector.
