Evidence
"Dan will work to incentivize private companies to invest in renewable energy and encourage community and public power production. We must promote public-private partnerships to address climate change at the necessary pace to save our planet."
Goldman said the project "will serve as the largest offshore wind staging and maintenance port in the nation and connect offshore wind power to over 500,000 homes across New York City" and called it a testament to what government and industry can achieve together.
Goldman led 18 colleagues in a letter requesting robust funding for BOEM's Office of Renewable Energy Programs and language to create efficiencies in the permitting process for offshore wind projects.
Goldman introduced an amendment to transfer $93 million from DOE fossil-fuel research and development into the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy account; the Republican majority on the House Rules Committee rejected the amendment.
Assessments
Goldman took concrete same-term actions aligned with the promise, including proposing to shift DOE funding from fossil-fuel research to renewable energy, leading a letter to support offshore wind permitting and funding, and publicly backing major offshore-wind infrastructure tied to public-private renewable power development. However, the strongest legislative proposal was rejected, and the evidence does not show that he successfully enacted or secured a new incentive program or clearly advanced community/public power production as a delivered policy outcome. The promise is therefore partially fulfilled through substantial advocacy and legislative effort, but not fully delivered.
