only physical structures but the communities they serve. Early efforts were made in consultation with only a few male community leaders. The result was homes without kitchens. Now all aspects of the community are involved in planning. Another lesson learned
is to develop existing communities at the same time that you are developing new ones so that friction is avoided.

to water supplies, the damages to homes and property, the coming forced immigration and displacement, the public health threat, the damage to nonhuman life, and the opportunities which remain to us.

mostly in onshore production. Norway’s Equinor and BP are developing a new 9 gigawatt offshore wind project in New York.
