Why Nearshore Wind for Louisiana?

Nationwide, Louisiana ranks number two in per capita energy consumption and relies on other states to meet its growing energy needs. It also has strong offshore winds to harvest. Wind energy represents an opportunity for Louisiana to close this gap using clean, home-grown energy while also leveraging existing infrastructure to establish an American offshore wind industry.
