The U.S. Offshore Wind Collaborative (USOWC) announces the release of U.S. Offshore Wind Energy: A Path Forward, a resource for government, industry, and non-governmental stakeholders that offers a snapshot of U.S. offshore wind energy activity in 2009.

Offshore wind energy has great potential to address the United States’ urgent energy and environmental challenges. While this abundant domestic renewable energy source is currently untapped, there is growing political and market momentum to develop the vast offshore wind energy resources on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and the Great Lakes.
