October 17, 2022
Matt Matern talks with Patrick Gilman from the DOE about wind energy. Patrick discusses making wind energy the cheapest electricity source, with current wind providing 9% of U.S. electricity. Goals include 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030 and 15 gigawatts of floating wind by 2035.
Patrick also highlights hydrogen's role in energy storage and decarbonizing industries. The DOE focuses on local community benefits and accelerating wind deployment while considering environmental impacts.
