The UK's experience with offshore wind power serves as a warning to the United States, as the UK currently has 15 GW of offshore wind capacity compared to the US's goal of reaching 30 GW by 2030. However, the UK's electricity prices are now among the highest in Europe, partly due to the high cost of gas, which supplies nearly half of the country's electricity. Additionally, the UK's reliance on expensive offshore wind power contributes to the high prices. Offshore wind farms in the UK are costly to build and maintain, with capital costs more than four times higher than gas-burning turbines. Maintenance costs for offshore wind farms are also significant, with estimates reaching £200m per GW annually. Furthermore, wind farms in the UK do not consistently deliver their rated capacity over time, resulting in a lower capacity factor and less efficient energy production.

Charles Witek who I believe worked for NYS DEC, responded to my post on another website that "take" does not necessarily mean "kill." He said it can mean drive away, harass, etc. But tell that to the dead whales and other marine mammals. I thought I would throw this out there as well- why are we not seeing fish species washing up dead along with the whales? Although all the sound disruptions: could they be the reason for less bunker ( ? )

Taking life means kill, correct?

Yes but according to witek just the use of the word “take” standing alone doesn’t. Government BS ? Having worked for Uncle for 35 plus 28 wearing the green (but only on weekends lol) I truly trust nothing from any politico.

People in Massachusetts also say that from an early stage, the developers took seriously their concerns, like protecting endangered whales. “They have taken those things to heart, and they have mitigated what they could mitigate and come up with a pretty responsible project,” said Andrew Gottlieb, the director of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, an environmental advocacy group.

Ms. Lapp said the wind farm site was a prime summer location for the squids that form much of her company’s business. She said that boats that netted the squids wouldn’t be able to safely fish between the turbines and that the huge structures would interfere with their radar, jeopardizing safety.

Vineyard Wind has tried to mollify the fishing industry by chartering boats to patrol the construction zone and providing around $40 million for potential lost catches. But Seafreeze and others have filed a lawsuit seeking the suspension of the Vineyard Wind lease, arguing that in the race to secure renewable energy, the federal government ignored its own environmental rules.

I don't need read the times to know that we are seeing the change of our coast and it's inhabitants that will destroy the tranquility that the ocean brings us now.. 3000 structures, the height of the Eiffel Tower, with the boards the length of a 747, are certain to change the natural landscape of the ocean forever.

I know you don't need to read that, but the photos that show size of the blades on the deck of large ships really drives home the message. I've read all the stats too, but these photos drew a very large "Holy CRAP!!" response.

The turbines on land are nothing compared to the ones at sea.

When you see the one in Pt. Lookout, it's not much but when your up next to the ones off block you realize how big they are and how much of a footprint the stantions make. Knowing this and reading about the newer, bigger turbines makes me take pause.

I agree. I get that feeling even time I see them.

Everyone wants to know why NJ gets more fish. It's simple, they're organized. New Yorkers have rolled over. It's sad how weak we have become.

Lawsuits may delay wind farm

A tangle of litigation could delay the start of New Jersey’s first offshore wind energy project, as developer Ørsted is suing governments to stop delaying necessary permits, and citizens groups try to halt the project altogether. The latest in a fast-growing thicket of litigation came July 3 when the Danish company sued Cape May County, alleging its government is dragging its feet in issuing a road permit needed to run tests. Ørsted also is suing Ocean City over similar delays to the project, which the federal government has endorsed as a significant piece in the White House’s efforts to tackle climate change. Last month, three citizens groups opposed to offshore wind filed an appeal of the state’s determination that the Ocean Wind I project is consistent with state coastal management rules. Michael Donohue, an attorney for Cape May County, said the county is reviewing the lawsuit.

Hello New York, it's just a matter of time before you'll have the option to purchase clean energy - which may cost approximately twice as much. Consider your choices carefully, friends. Let's not forget the precious wildlife that has sadly fallen victim to the initial phases of industrializing our once serene oceans. Surprisingly, this is deemed environmentally friendly..
