Donald Trump’s disdain for wind energy could create windfall for Nova Scotia: experts
U.S. President Donald Trump’s opposition to renewable energy could create a “golden opportunity” for Nova Scotia’s fledgling offshore wind energy industry, a leading international consulting firm says. Aegir Insights, based in Denmark, recently presented a webinar that examined Premier Tim Houston’s 10-year plan to license enough offshore turbines to produce 40 gigawatts of electricity. Even though the province requires only 2.4 GW, Houston’s Wind West plan calls for selling excess power to Canada and, potentially, the United States. Experts say such a project would require construction of about 4,000 offshore turbines that would generate as much electricity as China’s offshore turbines produced last year.
