Cuomo: "Let me be clear: our commitment to offshore wind is smarter, cleaner, and safer than the frightening federal proposal to allow offshore drilling. Instead of trying to revive the fossil fuel industry, I call on you to join us in our efforts to build a 21st century clean energy economy."
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Monday
issued a letter calling on U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to support New York's offshore wind initiative by delineating and leasing at least four new wind energy areas recommended by the state's
offshore wind master plan. The governor's letter also enclosed the state's comments on the Department of Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's call for information and nominations, which closed yesterday.
