The US government announces plan to promote the wind energy sector

The US government has unveiled a plan to install wind farms at sea to provide power to more than 10 million homes by 2030 and thus contribute to efforts to mitigate climate change. The plan aims to produce 30 GW of wind power in the country by 2021, according to an official statement. The plan will require investments of more than $12 billion per year along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and have the potential to create thousands of jobs. The plan will eliminate the emission of 78 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, according to the White House.
