Other Atlantic coast states including New Jersey and Rhode Island and others as well as Pacific Ocean states (California and Hawaii) have the opportunity to follow this lead. The Rhode Island has plans to install Some 43 GW worth of commercial wind turbine generators, which are placed 20 to 30 miles out to sea and float on concrete foundations, according to the American Wind Energy Association . Turbines are capable of harvesting some of the strongest winds in the world when they are placed at deepwater offshore sites. Some 43 GW of new offshore wind capacity will serve population centres on the coast of the US , according to the Global Wind Energy Council .
