In 2022, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimated that the country has a "technical" resource potential of 1,476 GW (fixed-bottom) and 2,773 GW (floating) offshore wind power. [1] Offshore wind projects are under development in wind-rich areas of the East Coast, Great Lakes, and Pacific coast.
Wind power showed potential for replacing natural gas in electricity generation on a cost basis. By 2021 wind energy produced 4872 terawatts-hour, 2.8% of the total primary energy production [51] and 6.6% of the total electricity production. [52] Technological innovations continue to drive new developments in the application of wind power.
The United States, though, has very large offshore wind energy resources due to strong, consistent winds off the long U.S. coastline. [56] The 2011 NREL report, Large-Scale Offshore Wind Power in the United States, analyzes the current state of the offshore wind energy industry. According to the report, offshore wind resource development would ...
Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, and blasts. Any structure can be subjected to dynamic loading. Dynamic analysis can be used to find dynamic displacements, time history, and modal analysis. Structural analysis is mainly concerned with finding out the behavior of a physical structure when subjected to force.
Wind resource assessment is the process by which wind power developers estimate the future energy production of a wind farm. Accurate wind resource assessments are crucial to the successful development of wind farms.
National Clean Energy Week, Sept. 25-29, is a good time to reflect on the growing potential clean energy has to help strengthen communities throughout Florida and across the country.

Carter signed both the National Energy Act of 1978 and the Energy Security Act of 1980, two laws that historians say are key moments in US energy history.
