Our Senior Program Manager Madelyn Smith joined Rep. Joseph Orgeron, James Martin of Gulf Wind Technology, and moderator Will Baldwin on the "Offshore Wind at a Crossroads" panel at the Tulane Future of Energy Forum.
The takeaway: federal policy is uncertain, but Louisiana's case for offshore wind hasn't changed. Louisiana-built vessels are already working on East Coast projects, 450+ Louisiana businesses are ready to supply the industry, and the state's ports and offshore workforce are exactly what it needs.
With coordination, ready ports, and smart incentives, Louisiana can lead when the next wave of development comes. Thanks to Tulane for hosting this important conversation!
