It amazes me that that's no mention of the damages that were done, the money that was wasted, and the disaster for our oceans. Now they have to convince us to spend more money for something that will never work. The sad part is, they will find that money - our money.
Where does this leave all the jobs that were promised?
All the land leases that will be broken?
This has a trickle down effect that will have anyone question these projects in the future.
This administration has some track record for backing the wrong horses!
And now he's pissed off every Muslim who voted for him........... going to be an interesting election.
Wind farming taking serious hits!

If voting mattered, they wouldn't let us do it.

‘Secret reports’ reveal how government worked to ‘censor Americans’ prior to 2020 election, Jim Jordan says
DHS officials helped create a "disinformation" group at Stanford University that worked to "censor" the speech of Americans prior to the 2020 presidential election, according to House Judiciary Committee report.
For those unfamiliar with industry jargon, the term “OREC adjustment” refers to Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Certificates, a classic green cost-shifting scheme in which local, state or the federal government pays wind developers an agreed-upon fee for each megawatt of power they build and deliver in locations favored by those governments. Those fees end up being worked into the utility rates paid by electricity consumers as part of an array of hidden charges on their monthly bills.

Don't think these this area going anywhere. They're just holding out for more money that you an I will eventfully pay. This is a summery of an article in today's Newsday.
**New York Wind Power: Long Island's 2030 Energy Vision**
1. **Expanding Offshore Wind Energy**: In a groundbreaking move, Long Island is set to harness about half of its energy needs from offshore wind power by 2030. This is a significant leap forward for New York wind power, especially since offshore wind is not yet a major energy source on the local grid. LIPA's comprehensive roadmap includes not only offshore wind but also solar power, battery storage, and cutting-edge green technologies.
2. **Sustainable Energy Costs**: New York residents should anticipate a modest 2% yearly increase in their power supply charges, a necessary step for integrating sustainable energy into the state's grid. LIPA's leadership, under CEO Tom Falcone, assures that these costs are within manageable limits, signaling a promising future for New York wind power.
3. **Offshore Wind Industry Challenges**: The offshore wind sector in the U.S., pivotal to New York's green energy plans, faces financial headwinds. Orsted, a key player in the industry, has had to reassess major projects, casting a shadow on the Sunrise Wind project, crucial for Long Island's 2025 energy goals.
4. **LIPA's Strategic Shift**: Aligning with New York's green energy ambitions, LIPA is on the cusp of a major transformation, potentially becoming a fully public utility. This shift in governance aligns with the state's vision for a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
5. **2024 Budget and Phasing Out Fossil Fuels**: Reflecting New York's commitment to renewable energy, LIPA's 2024 budget indicates a slight increase in monthly bills, with a strategic plan to retire fossil-fuel plants by 2030. This move is a critical step in reducing the state's carbon footprint and embracing renewable energy sources like wind and solar power.
6. **Boosting Battery Storage and Solar Power**: In a significant push for renewable energy, LIPA plans to massively increase battery storage and solar installations. This surge in solar power and battery storage capacity underscores New York's commitment to leading the way in green energy.
7. **Import and Export of Power**: New York's energy landscape is set to change dramatically, with a decrease in power imports and an increase in the state's ability to export power, thanks to projects like Propel New York. This shift emphasizes the growing self-sufficiency and sustainability of New York's power grid.
8. **New York State's Offshore Wind Contracts**: The state has committed to a substantial 8,400 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030, with Long Island playing a key role. However, challenges such as community opposition and financial hurdles from developers pose potential risks to these ambitious plans.
9. **Planning for Wind Variability**: Recognizing the intermittent nature of wind power, LIPA's strategy includes robust backup resources to ensure consistent energy supply during periods of low wind. This foresight is crucial for maintaining a reliable and sustainable energy grid in New York.
This overview provides a glimpse into the exciting future of New York wind power, highlighting Long Island's pivotal role in the state's green energy transition by 2030.
