A review of the recent report, New England's Offshore Wind Solution, released by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). The report details how offshore wind energy off the coast of New England can significantly enhance the reliability and affordability of the region’s electric grid, particularly in winter.
Special Guest: Susan Muller, Senior Energy Analyst, Union of Concerned Scientists (report author)
The offshore wind stop-work orders issued in December of 2025 by the US Department of the Interior have been reversed by the courts, and offshore wind resources are helping meet the increased energy demand on the New England grid.
