Nova Scotia could be a future offshore wind hot spot, as New England looks to its Canadian neighbor for an energy source that the Trump administration is quashing in the U.S.

A few days later, New England governors and Eastern Canadian premiers adopted a resolution to continue collaboration on energy infrastructure. And Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) and Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston — who both aim to boost their region’s clean power supplies — have had many discussions, including a meeting last week about partnering on energy needs.
