Earth Day Means Business

For Earth Day, I salute the many involved the enormous effort to launch the OffShore Wind industry. There are many to thank for the work done to date, like our Congressman Salud Carbajal and Morro Bay Mayor John Headding, along with President Biden and Governor Newsom. Yet the work has only begun. Recently I attended an Off ShoreWind Conference in SF as US and CA agency leaders presented information, along with marine biologists, environmental monitoring specialists, global industry leaders, labor unions, energy aggregators, and community activists discussed how to best execute this national initiative. BOEM's Pacfic Region Director Douglas Boren clearly understands the many challenges to a timely launch. We were honored to be at Norway's Consul General?Henriksen fireside chat discussing #opportunities #partnerships and her country's ocean expertise balancing environment and energy generation. I met so many and also ran into long time solar industry friends including David Lazerwitz and my new associate Nancy Kirshner Rodriguez from OSW Business Network. The County of San Luis Obispo, together with a wide range of partners including REACH, are committed to supporting the transition in an environmentally safe, economically rewarding clean energy for future generations.
