coondoggie writes "The Department of Energy wants to kick up the
[0]research and development of offshore wind projects as it looks to
achieve its goal of producing [1]20% of the country's electricity from
wind farms by 2030. The DOE Wind Program is looking to focus on what it
calls specific advanced technology, gigawatt-scale demonstration projects
that can be carried out by partnerships with a wide range of eligible
organizations and stimulate cost-effective offshore wind energy
deployment in coastal and Great Lakes regions of the country. The agency
is also looking for more research that can help address market barriers
in order to facilitate deployment and reduce technical challenges facing
the entire industry, as well as technology that will reduce cost of
offshore wind energy through innovation and testing."
