Speed offshore renewable energy permits with community protections

Warren proposed streamlining and fast-tracking permits for offshore wind and wave energy, while siting projects based on environmental impact assessments and involving fishing, conservation, and coastal communities. She would make additional federal subsidies or tax benefits for large offshore renewable projects conditional on strong Community Benefits Agreements, including prevailing wages and collective bargaining rights, with clawbacks if companies break their agreements. She also proposed using Project Labor Agreements for construction and maintenance.

Context: The proposal specifies additional subsidies or tax benefits for large offshore projects; it does not make all federal support conditional on these agreements.
