We should all breathe a sigh of relief that the Trump administration recently reversed its decision to halt an offshore wind project 15 miles south of Long Beach.
The $7 billion Empire Wind project, being built by a Norwegian energy company in two phases, is expected to generate enough clean power to serve about 1 million homes in New York when completed and create more than 1,000 union construction jobs through the redevelopment of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a major offshore wind staging and assembly hub.
