States from Rhode Island on down to Virginia all have plans to ramp up offshore wind over the next decade, and the Biden administration has pledged to add 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030.
从罗德岛到弗吉尼亚州，各州都计划在未来十年增加海上风力发电，拜登政府承诺到2030年增加30千兆瓦的海上风力发电。
It's all part of an energy overhaul that aims to swap fossil fuels for renewables, reining in climate change and protecting our planet.
这一切都是能源改革的一部分，旨在将化石燃料转换为可再生能源，控制气候变化，保护我们的地球。
Curbing climate change is one of the best things we can do to protect marine species, but harnessing the wind to blow back emissions is not without its own impacts.
遏制气候变化是我们保护海洋生物所能做的最好的事情之一，但利用风能减少排放也不是没有影响。
Of special concern are these denizens of the sea.
特别值得关注的是这些海洋生物。
That’s a North Atlantic right whale recorded off the Coast of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts.
这是在马萨诸塞州玛莎葡萄园岛海岸记录的北大西洋露脊鲸。
North Atlantic right whales migrate in feed along the US East Coast, which is also ground zero for the US's growing offshore wind industry.
