Has little Rhode Island become the center for offshore wind power in the United States? Sure seems like it. The nation’s first offshore wind farm will start operating there next month. The project drew interest from European visitors recently, and this week, it hosted an offshore wind energy conference.
Session after session, panelists congratulated Rhode Island and Deepwater Wind for building the nation’s first offshore wind farm off the coast of Block Island.
