# Researchers develop cost-effective offshore wind plan offsetting emissions

Research suggests that floating wind farms off the coasts of southern Oregon and northern California could triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity. These farms could help offset the costs of climate change and deliver electricity to areas with limited transmission infrastructure. In scenarios where these wind farms are connected to the shore via large transmission lines, the benefits of additional wind power are found to exceed the costs. However, questions about underwater transmission lines, environmental impacts, and stakeholder interests still need to be addressed before this plan can be executed.
