The Atlantic Coast has significant potential to transform the American power system, thanks to its strong wind speeds, shallow continental shelf, and extensive port infrastructure. Former President Biden set a national offshore wind target of achieving 30 GW of offshore wind power by 2030. However, President-elect Trump's desire to halt the industry may slow or eliminate future leasing opportunities. Despite this challenge, successful implementation remains possible through state efforts and collaborations among private stakeholders, which will require substantial investment, creative messaging, and coordinated actions across various parties.
