Eric Adams’ plan: Turn NYC into wind energy manufacturing hub

Mayoral candidate Eric Adams says the solution to reviving New York City’s economy amid the coronavirus pandemic is blowing in the wind.

Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, unveiled a plan Wednesday to make the Big Apple the wind power hub of the Northeast by building wind turbine manufacturing plants at ports throughout the city. The factories on Gotham’s waterfront would design, construct and ship the components necessary to build off-shore wind farms planned for the region and create green jobs for city residents, Adams said.
