What was once America’s premier waterway for trade looks to a wind farm boom to power its renewal
In June 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt travelled to Albany, New York to inaugurate the city’s port — a ceremony that featured 5,000 parading soldiers, 25,000 cheering spectators and a symbolic “wedding of the waters”. The then-governor — soon to be president — celebrated the docks along the Hudson River as a source of well-paying jobs at a time of economic despair and part of a larger project to open the nation’s inland waterways to commercial traffic.
And, just 10 miles down the river from the Port of Albany, GE Vernova has proposed two factories at the privately owned Port of Coeymans. One would produce offshore blades and the other nacelles, the boxes that house turbines’ generating equipment. Meanwhile, a New York engineering company, Riggs Distler, has won an $86mn contract to build enormous foundations at Coeymans — some weighing as much as 120 tonnes — that will be used to anchor offshore turbines.
