New York City is taking more steps towards renewable energy.
The de Blasio administration has put together a 191 million dollar offshore wind vision plan that includes creating thousands of jobs to help make the city a national leader in wind power. Rachael Loeb is the city’s Economic Development Corporation President.
“We’re going to develop best in class sites and infrastructure. We are going to prepare local businesses and New Yorkers to enter this workforce and we are going to promote innovation in the offshore wind industry.”
The administration is also pledging to get electricity from clean and renewable energy for all government buildings by year 2025. It’s also pumping 75 million dollars into swapping out more gas powered vehicles for electric ones.
