The premise of this text is that the United States needs to begin building offshore renewable energy projects--marine wind turbines, wave energy converters, tidal and ocean current energy converters, and ocean thermal energy conversion devices--immediately, within the current regulatory environment, and that the current regulatory environment needs to be changed in order to ease the construction of such projects in the future. It therefore reviews the current feasibility of building such projects and explores changes that can be made to increase the ease of building offshore renewable energy projects. Chapters discuss the case for offshore renewable energy, offshore conditions and energy resources, types of offshore energy resource projects, project siting decisions, acquiring rights to project sites, project review under the National Environmental Policy Act, federal protections for natural and cultural resources, the roles of different federal and state agencies reviewing proposed offshore projects, managing the public consultation process, adapting to intermittent renewable energy supplies, financing and insuring offshore renewable energy projects, and the economic challenge of offshore renewable energy.
