The U.S. Department of the Interior has repeatedly stated that offshore offshore wind turbines can provide enough electricity to meet current U.S. electricity needs. Relatively shallow waters on the coast are the most easily erected and technically feasible sites for wind turbines. Salazar said that using only these wind turbines could meet at least 20% of the electricity needs of most states in the United States. Salazar announced a report completed by the Mineral Resources Administration of the Ministry of the Interior detailing the potential for the development of oil, natural gas and renewable energy on the continental shelf outside the United States.
The United States has the largest wind potential on the Atlantic coast. According to the report, it is estimated that it can generate 1 billion kilowatts of electricity, enough to meet one-quarter of the U.S. electricity demand. The report also pointed out that although there is great potential for wind power generation on the Pacific coast including the California coast, wind turbines may face increasingly severe challenges in deeper waters.
According to forecasts, the potential of offshore wind power in the United States is as high as 4 million megawatts. However, according to the analysis, this is only a theoretical figure. If all the constraints are taken into account, including economic feasibility and wind conditions, the large-scale commercial offshore wind power generation capacity in the United States is roughly 127 million kilowatts.
The development objective of offshore wind power in the United States first locked the shallows and then developed into deep water, mainly using wind turbines with a stand-alone capacity of 5 MW or more. According to reports, the goal established by the United States is that by 2012, the electricity price for Class 4 shoals will be 5 cents/kWh. At present, the United States is studying deepwater technology. As technology advances, the cost will also be well controlled to ensure the healthy development of offshore wind power.
U.S. media believe that during the period of high oil prices, Republican representatives have been shouting for the development of oil, making the issue of offshore energy particularly pressing. Critics also accused Obama and Salazar of deliberately delaying new oil and gas drilling. Proponents of oil drilling said that the latest estimates of offshore energy could find greater offshore oil potential. Salazar said that offshore wind power is the protagonist of the future. He promised to formulate guidelines and regulations for the development of offshore wind power as soon as possible to complete the work that the United States could not complete during the Bush administration.
