Nova Scotia proposes "Wind West," a major offshore wind project to supply 27% of Canada's electricity.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is proposing a major offshore wind energy project called "Wind West" to meet 27% of Canada's electricity needs. This initiative responds to Prime Minister Mark Carney's goal of making Canada an "energy superpower." The province aims to license projects producing up to five gigawatts by 2030, though it currently has no offshore wind turbines. Houston hopes for federal support to advance the project, which could also create jobs and economic growth.
