To the Editor: Re “Projects for Offshore Wind Stall as Supply and Funding Sputter” (front page, Dec. 12): Offshore wind projects need to be reconsidered in both scale and financing.
The Times accurately identifies the causes for delays and cancellations of ambitious offshore wind projects in the Northeast Atlantic.
But the success of the recent launch of the South Fork Wind project may underscore another reason so many of the huge projects have been stymied.
The South Fork Wind project, 35 miles off the coast of Montauk, N.Y., when fully operational, will produce electricity to fuel 70,000 homes on eastern Long Island and will offset tons of carbon emissions each year.
