Google announced on their blog last night that they will invest in building 350 miles of transmission off the Atlantic coast from New Jersey to Virginia to tap into a gigantic off-shore wind potential that has only just been opened up this year with the first-ever US approval of an off-shore wind farm, by the Obama administration.\n<p>\nThe new transmission cables, a superhighway for clean energy, will enable the connection of up to 6,000 MW of offshore wind turbines. That\u2019s equivalent to 60% of the wind energy that was installed in the entire country last year and enough to serve approximately 1.9 million households.\n<p>\nPutting this system in place removes the major barrier: the lack of infrastructure, and should \u2013 with a friendly administration, jump-start off-shore wind in this country.\n<\/blockquote>\n<!-- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.windpoweringamerica.gov\/wind_resource_maps.asp?stateab=ga\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;border:none;\"   width=\"200\" height=\"259\" src=\"http:\/\/www.windpoweringamerica.gov\/images\/windmaps\/ga_80m_400w.jpg\"><\/a>\n-->\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.windpoweringamerica.gov\/maps_template.asp?stateab=ga\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;border:none;\"   width=\"150\" height=\"194\" src=\"http:\/\/www.windpoweringamerica.gov\/images\/windmaps\/ga_50m_138.jpg\"><\/a>\nDoesn&#8217;t the Georgia Bight (coast of Florida, Georgia, SC, and NC,\naka the South Atlantic Bight)\nhave similar wind potential?\nMaybe somebody should start building a wind farm off of Savannah\nand invite google to fund transmission lines from there, too.\n<p>\n-jsq\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Susan Kraemer writes in Clean Technica about Google Builds First US Off-Shore Superhighway for Clean Energy: Some very exciting news for US clean energy today.
