 * Plan: The United States federal government should revise the Coastal Zone Management Act to:**


 * **mandate offshore wind power development where appropriate and feasible on all U.S. coasts;**
 * **require revisions to states' Coastal Zone Management Plans in accordance with this mandate;**
 * **increase incentives for offshore wind power development.**

====<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 17.05px; text-align: start;">McCarthy 8-1 (McCarthy "The little-known FRED charts that reveal the state of the U.S. economy" The Washington Post[])//LK ==== <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: start;">"The trendlines for manufacturing and construction employment had been steadily converging in the three decades to 2007. This is easily explained: Construction employment historically has been powerfully cyclical, while the combination of globalization and technological advancement had aggressively boosted productivity growth in the manufacturing sector, leading it to shed jobs even as output climbed. The construction sector still employs nearly 1.5 million fewer workers now than at the start of the recession, and the manufacturing sector more than 1.6 million fewer. No other sector is close to these levels of remaining net job losses. The decline in manufacturing employment seem likely to continue on its pre-crisis secular trajectory, despite the occasional upward blip. But the construction sector is a more complicated story. A researcher at the St. Louis Fed concluded, based on aggregate payroll hours worked in the sector both before and after the crisis, that employment in the sector accounts for most of the remaining labor market slack. (The indexes of aggregate hours worked in the second Fred graph are set to 100 in 2007.) And given the sector's endlessly abysmal productivity growth, construction employment is likely to start rising more impressively when — if! — the economy finally produces the long-awaited acceleration in household formation growth. But whether or not construction employment exceeds its prior employment peak — as it has in every business cycle expansion but one since 1960 — depends on a few factors that remain uncertain: mortgage credit tightness and other supply-side bottlenecks, the split between multifamily and single-family residences, resiliency of the decline in the homeownership rate, the impact of demographic trends, and most obviously the continued vigor of the cyclical recovery itself."
