North Carolina mulls 10-year offshore ban
Lawmakers in US state North Carolina are considering a bill that would impose a 10-year ban on offshore wind development in the state's waters.
Senate Bill 697 is supported by Republicans Bobby Hanig and Timothy Moffit, and would impose a 10-year moratorium on the issue of state permits for projects off the coast of North Carolina. If successful, it would affect sites including two where the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management awarded support on 11th May 2022: Carolina Long Bay and Kitty Hawk North Wind.
