Energy 長官: US 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd 職業s should be union 職業s

NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) - The growing 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd 産業 is often touted as a boon for 職業 創造, but who will do the work?

The U.S. energy 長官 and Danish 勝利,勝つd developer Orsted say they want American union 労働者s to build 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd farms to dot the U.S. coastlines - the building 貿易(する)s 労働者s who could さもなければ be left out of a 移行 to renewable 資源s.

A 大多数 of onshore 勝利,勝つd and solar farms have been built either with 非,不,無-union 労働者s or without 集団の/共同の 取引ing 協定s, except for in California where unions are more 伴う/関わるd in the 産業, によれば North America´s Building 貿易(する)s Unions.

"Our 最近の experience in the last two 10年間s with onshore 勝利,勝つd and solar has been that the 大多数 of those 事業/計画(する)s are not built with us," NABTU 長官-Treasurer Brent Booker said this week. "So this is groundbreaking in setting the 基準 for an 現れるing 産業 here."

The Biden 行政 wants to (軍隊を)展開する,配備する 30 gigawatts of 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd energy by 2030, 生成するing enough electricity to 力/強力にする more than 10 million homes. Energy 長官 Jennifer Granholm visited the New London 明言する/公表する Pier 施設 last week to see how Orsted, energy provider Eversource and the 明言する/公表する of Connecticut are transforming it into a 中心 for the 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd 産業.

Gov. Ned Lamont said there are "hundreds of good 支払う/賃金ing 職業s 権利 here" and "we're just getting started."

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal thanked the unions, 説 "this is the 未来 of energy in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs of America 権利 here." U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney said they're maximizing every 適切な時期 for the 明言する/公表する to grow in a 維持できる way.

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, the only one not up for reelection, echoed the same message, 説 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd is the "宗教上の grail of public 政策" because it creates 職業s, helps the 地元の economy, makes the country more 安全な・保証する and helps save the 惑星.

側面に位置するd by building 貿易(する)s members, Granholm said the 行政 is committed to creating "union 職業s in America in this clean energy economy." She said she wants predominantly American union 労働者s to build U.S. 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd farms and would like to see 事業/計画(する) labor 協定s in all 面s of the energy 移行, 製図/抽選 元気づけるs from 労働者s at the pier.

"That´s what we´d like, all union," she told The Associated 圧力(をかける).

Allison Ziogas, Orsted's U.S. labor relations 経営者/支配人, said one of the 推論する/理由s they sought the 協定 with NABTU was to 保証する 労働者s, 特に in the 化石 燃料 産業, that they can have good-支払う/賃金ing 職業s in 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd.

"There is not the same level or 質 of 職業s with the solar 産業, so it´s 肉親,親類d of created a 誤った narrative that you can have good 職業s or a healthy 気候 but not both," she said. "And we really 認めるd that if we didn't have everyone on board, we knew how things would 勝利,勝つd up. It would 勝利,勝つd up in gridlock."

Orsted 現在/一般に has six 事業/計画(する)s in five 明言する/公表するs. The "国家の 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd 協定" covers 請負業者s working on those 事業/計画(する)s and 未来 ones, with no termination date on the 事業/計画(する) labor 協定. It 始める,決めるs the 条件 and 条件s for union 労働者s to build 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd farms, with 的s to 確実にする a diverse 全労働人口. It 含む/封じ込めるs 準備/条項s for training to 確実にする they can 建設する the コンビナート/複合体 組織/基盤/下部構造.

Ziogas said nearly all of the total work hours on each pr oject will be done with union labor, with a team from abroad with experience 任命する/導入するing turbines supporting the 沖合いの/海外の work. She said Orsted is committed to "creating an American 産業," and hopes the 協定 始める,決めるs the 妨げる/法廷,弁護士業 for it.

Keith Brothers, 長,率いる of the building 貿易(する)s in Connecticut, said he 簡潔に spoke with Granholm at the pier about the 事業/計画(する) labor 協定. Brothers said it's about creating 適切な時期s, not only for a longtime tradesman but also for a new 見習い工 looking for a career in the 現れるing U.S. 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd 産業.

"That´s what´s exciting about it, it´s new. We really don´t know what it´s going to bring or how many 職業s. But we know it´s a lot," he said. "We know it´s new and there´s a lot coming."

The first U.S. 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd farm began operating off 封鎖する Island, Rhode Island, in late 2016. Orsted acquired the developer and now operates that five-turbine 勝利,勝つd farm. The first 商業の-規模 事業/計画(する) is off the coast of Massachusetts.

The Biden 行政 has also 認可するd the construction and 操作/手術s for South Fork 勝利,勝つd, a 共同の 投機・賭ける between Orsted and Eversource. Its 伝達/伝染 system will connect to the electric grid on Long Island, New York, making it the 明言する/公表する´s first 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd farm and jumpstarting the 沖合いの/海外の 勝利,勝つd 産業 there.
