Online 2024Please join us for a free webinar where we will be sharing key information from a new report entitled “Laws in Order: An Inventory of State Renewable Energy Siting Policies.” This report is the result of a significant collaborative effort between the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, and a research team that included the Regulatory Assistance Project, Clean Air Task Force, and the Consensus Building Institute. The report provides a new inventory of state renewable energy siting policies, permitting authorities, and an accompanying interactive map that profiles all 50 states plus Puerto Rico. The inventory includes summary material, findings, and individual reports for each state. It also provides an improved understanding of the regulatory landscape for large-scale wind and solar siting across U.S. states and territories. The authors will provide a detailed description of the data, methodology, results, and conclusions from this new report and demonstrate the interactive map. There will also be time for participant questions and answers. The work was made possible through funding support from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy.

Online 2024Whale Mortalities and Offshore Wind in the News: Analyzing the "Facts" or Community Perceptions of Energy Justice within Offshore Wind Development in Southern New England Coastal communities play a vital role in the success of offshore wind development. Research suggests more should be done to account for each community’s social, cultural, and economic expectations, as well as the collective visions, desires, and needs, including perceptions of fairness of the development process and the distribution of burdens and benefits. Understanding these perceptions can help policymakers, regulators, and developers better address concerns, increase the effectiveness of community engagement, facilitate dialogue and interaction, and be inclusive of diverse perspectives. This webinar presentation will review the results of 35 community interviews in East Hampton, NY, New London, CT, Narragansett, RI, New Bedford, MA, and Martha's Vineyard, MA, carried out in 2022. The interviews reveal themes of need for recognition, inclusivity, transparency, trust, and fairness.

Online 2024Join distinguished leaders from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a webinar on June 25th from 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET. During this session we will do a deep dive into the Offshore Wind Pathways to Commercial Liftoff report. The Pathways to Commercial Liftoff Reports are the product of comprehensive stakeholder engagement, combining system-level modeling with project-level financial analysis. These reports offer valuable insights, identifying key themes and interactions among various grid technologies. While they do not represent official DOE policy or strategic plans, they serve as crucial resources for decision-makers in the energy sector, investors, and a broader range of stakeholders.

Anthropogenic stressors threaten large whales globally. Effective management requires an understanding of where, when, and why threats are occurring. Strandings data provide key information on geographic hotspots of risk and the relative importance of various threats. There is currently considerable public interest in the increased frequency of large whale strandings occurring along the US…

While offshore wind is critical to reducing carbon emissions and helping to achieve universal energy access as envisioned by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 7, we must ensure that such turbines are installed in a way that they do not endanger marine life or harm human development. Coastal communities rely on a healthy ocean to run businesses, secure food, and prosper.…

In the face of depleting fossil energy and the imperative of sustainable development, there is a compelling drive towards advancing renewable energies. In this context, sustainable and predictable alternatives, like marine energy, gain prominence. Marine energy presents a cleaner option devoid of the adverse effects associated with fossil fuels, playing a crucial role in environmental…

The burning of fossil fuels for energy is having widespread and cascading consequences on the ocean. Thus far, the ocean has absorbed more than 90% of the heat and 30% of the carbon dioxide emissions produced from burning oil and gas. This is causing ocean waters to warm and become more acidic, driving sea level rise, and habitat degradation and loss, including coral bleaching. Coastal…

Achieving a blue economy will require reconciling the value of emerging ocean uses with their impacts on the seascape and sectors with historical access to marine resources and areas. To meet this challenge, we developed an analytical framework for conducting marine spatial planning through tradeoff analysis, and applied it to prospective offshore wind energy development in the ∼974 km2…
