'The Interior Department is laying out an ambitious roadmap as we advance the Administration's plans to confront climate change, create good-paying jobs, and accelerate the nation's transition to a cleaner energy future.'

The move was announced Wednesday by US Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and first reported by The New York Times.

"The Interior Department is laying out an ambitious roadmap as we advance the Administration's plans to confront climate change, create good-paying jobs, and accelerate the nation's transition to a cleaner energy future," Haaland said in a statement."We have big goals to achieve a clean energy economy and Interior is meeting the moment."

As part of that initiative, which spans multiple government agencies, the Departments of the Interior, Energy and Commerce committed to a shared goal of generating 30 gigawatts of offshore wind in the US by 2030. The Interior Department estimates that reaching that goal would create nearly 80,000 jobs.
