Climate Change

By displacing electricity that would otherwise be generated by coal or natural gas, offshore wind power reduces the greenhouse gas emissions which cause climate change. DOE estimates that each GW of wind power capacity would save 1.2 million tons of coal or 20.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas, avoiding 1.8 million metric tons of carbon emissions and saving 1.3 billion gallons of water.
