The US government has an ambitious plan for offshore wind energy in the US country. The creation of jobs in the area encourages the population of the richest country in the world
Last Monday the White House brought more details of a very ambitious plan to increase the number of parks that generate offshore wind energy on the east coast of the North American country. Joe Biden's idea is to boost the US offshore wind industry EUA. The president Rainforest is starting to make good on a campaign promise to work hard to contain and minimize climate change. This action will certainly generate thousands of jobs.
Joe Biden's plan is for offshore wind power to generate by the end of decade no less than 30 megawatts. As a result, the trend is for 10 million American homes to be supplied solely with offshore wind energy.
What is the impact of the ambitious US plan on the environment?
If the implementation of this US plan in wind energy will enable the country to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 78 metric tons. Joe Biden will invest in research and development of new projects in the field of offshore wind energy. Furthermore, projects will be approved more quickly, as well as making it easier for the US offshore industry to borrow at low interest rates. With this, the generation of jobs in the area is guaranteed.

Job creation
With investments in all areas to encourage the development of the country's offshore wind industry, the US is also concerned about the generation of jobs in the area. Gina McCarthy, US National Climate Advisor, spoke about this: “Thousands of well-paying union jobs. This is about creating great jobs on the ocean and in our port cities and in our heartland.".
How will Brazil be impacted?
Joe Biden invited President Bolsonaro at the end of month past to participate in COP26, which takes place in November, in Scotland. The so-called “Climate Leaders' Summit will certainly be used by the American president to charge the Brazilian government for more investments in the area of wind energy.
In Brazil, investment in wind energy has a different characteristic. Companies usually lease land for the installation of towers. If the Brazilian government is convinced to further increase investments in the area after COP26, job creation and income growth will certainly be considerable.
