Vestas Wind Systems (OTCMKTS:VWDRY) stock is seeing some extra chatter online lately as President Joe Biden reveals plans for offshore wind farms.
The recent news from President Biden includes plans to set up seven plots for wind farms along the U.S. coast by 2025. This is just the start of a larger plan that would see wind farms stretch all along the U.S. coast.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said the following about the wind farms plans in a quote from The Week.
“This timetable provides two crucial ingredients for success: increased certainty and transparency. Together, we will meet our clean energy goals while addressing the needs of other ocean users and potentially impacted communities.”
