The Department of Defense is raising warnings over the Biden administration's planned offshore wind development sites on the East Coast, threatening to imperil President Joe Biden's goal of reaching 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030.
The DOD said Monday that its initial assessment of areas the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has earmarked for new offshore wind development has revealed"compatibility challenges" with existing Navy and Air Force training facilities nearby.The areas in question include offshore areas off the coasts of North Carolina, Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland.
The Pentagon has previously described those areas as"highly problematic" to its operations and its ability to navigate around the turbines, according to Bloomberg. The Pentagon is"committed to facilitate development while protecting national security, as we have done in every call area in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico," the defense spokesperson added.
Its efforts have come under rising scrutiny in recent months, especially amid a recent uptick in whale deaths along the Atlantic Coast, which has prompted calls to halt development pending investigation temporarily.The clash is reminiscent of 2010 when the two agencies went head to head over a proposed offshore oil leasing site near Virginia.
