For now, the wind power jobs are gone

The Albany Times-Union explains that the predicted 870 jobs building wind turbine dynamos and the blades that turn them at the nearby Port of Coeymans on the Hudson River won't happen as things currently stand. This is because major offshore wind developments adjacent to New York, the Attentive and Community Offshore projects, have been cancelled. About 2,718 megawatts of wind-produced energy won't be added to the state power grid. Other projects remain in the works. 

The center-piece of the Port of Coeymans effort was to be a facility where the components of wind dynamos, blades and submarine towers would be assembled and then transported down the Hudson to the sites off Long Island. As might be expected, the cost of the yet-to-be built factory has exploded from an initial estimate of $350 million to a current $604 million.
