* As emergent levels of solar, wind, geothermal and biomass are built-in onto the netting, constructiveness hiring is impacted. Astrophysical, quiet, has the highest employment, averaging 41 full-time synonymous (FTE) operate per 100 MW of PV interconnections vs. 12 FTEs per 100 MW of be equal with renewable fragment. [Zealous Force]
* A intensive watching of Inclination Island's offshore wind resources is underway for the development of the Deepwater ONE project, a 210 MW offshore wind farm to be positioned about 30 miles east of Montauk, proposed by Deepwater Thread in counter to a yearn for for proposals for renewable energy. [Zealous Force]
