> The offshore wind project (colloquially knowns as the Rockaway Wind Farm) is taking a step forward! Sarah Crean reports <https://go.madmimi.com/redirects/1432265330-462ab9431fefbeb97ea0a25723361245-f610187?pa=30474814937&f=true>, "Described as what could be the largest offshore wind farm in the United States, the Long Island – New York City Offshore Wind Project is working its way through a multi-year federal review process." This is the wind farm that is proposed for the same site as the Port Ambrose LNG facility that we have all been fighting so hard. This wind farm could yield as much as 700 MW of energy—enough electricity to power an estimated 245,000 homes and a potential if 17,000 jobs.
