US offshore wind farms raise concerns across fishing industry

As governments looks to save the environment, fishermen say that they are the ones paying the price

The fishing industry is concerned construction of wind turbines on coastal waters is jeopardizing jobs and the fish population.

As governments pursue renewable energy sources with increasing demand for wind energy, the production of wind turbines is soaring. President Biden set a goal of reaching 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.

The offshore wind turbine market is projected to reach nearly $40 billion by the next decade, according to wind turbine operations and maintenance market research conducted by Transparency Market Research. The turbines convert wind into electricity, which is sent ashore through cables and fed into the regional or national electricity grid to power homes and businesses.
