Offshore Wind is on the Horizon with Matt Gove Mid-Atlantic Policy Manager at Surfrider Foundation - a podcast by Wax Radio

NY State has a goal to source 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. In order to reach that goal, harnessing energy from offshore wind will play a major role in making that possible.
New York will not be the first to develop and offshore wind farm, that honor goes to Rhode Island - a few years ago a company called Deepwater Wind built a 5 turbine farm off the coast of Block Island. This past summer New York awarded a contract to the same company now called Deepwater Orsted to build two much bigger farms - approximately 35 miles off Montauk and another 14 miles off Jones Beach. Called the SouthFork Wind Farm.

On the latest Episode of Swell Season Surf Radio, we chat with a surfer who has his glove on the pulse of all of this: Matt Gove Mid-Atlantic Policy Manager at Surfrider Foundation.

Music: Cat Stevens
Song: The Wind
