Do they think we're idiots!

Maybe they're beginning to realize this windmill crap isn't going to do it.

US, UK to Push Pledge to Triple Nuclear Power by 2050 at COP28

The US will lead a push at the COP28 climate summit to triple the amount of installed nuclear power capacity globally by 2050, marking a major turnaround for the controversial technology at the climate negotiations.

Clueless in everything.

and they can fail to secure the radiactive waste. Gotta satisfy radical islamists somehow !
Seriously, Lawnguyland is still suffering from the panicked libs that shut down Shoreham. But didn' the "powers that be" here in the good ole USA just lessen funding for the mini reactors? Brookhaven still hasn't irradiated anyone (so far as we know.) France derives most of its electricity from nuclear reactors (71%). The beautiful people I saw in Paris, Nice, Marseille, etc. did not have bleeding gums, hair loss, etc. etc. So far hydrogen fuel cells haven't revolutionized the automotive industry. Yet. But could larger scale hydrogen fuel cells power us ? Regardless, the electric grid still has to be greatly expanded if we are going to continue to downsize the use of fossil fuels.

And then I saw “backed by government”. Ugh. Article did not discuss how much energy (fossil fuel, electric created by fossil fuel) it takes to make one gallon of this stuff.

Biden administration waived taxpayer safeguards to boost wind projects

Shocking ?

Biden administration waived taxpayer safeguards to boost wind projects

MSN

The damage done in 3 short years is just devastating.

Currently, it appears calm as these international corporations wait to benefit from an increase in our tax dollars. However, it's likely only a matter of time before the cycle of destruction resumes.

Correct. Money that honestly is stolen from my family and I if that’s what they use it for.

Additional flavor

Here's a summary of it:


The Biden administration, through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), waived a development fee for Vineyard Wind, a company developing an offshore wind project in Massachusetts. This fee, typically required for decommissioning costs, ensures that federal property is restored after a lease ends. This decision was criticized by Protect the Public's Trust (PPT) and others as showing preferential treatment, especially as the administration was increasing bonding requirements on oil and gas leases.

The waiver was granted despite former Deputy Interior Secretary Tommy Beaudreau's previous legal representation of Vineyard Wind. Beaudreau joined the Biden administration shortly after the waiver was approved, though he stated he wasn't involved in the waiver decision.

BOEM justified the waiver by citing risk reduction factors in Vineyard Wind's project, such as insurance and proven technology, and the potential for the waiver to accelerate project operations. The decision was part of the administration's broader efforts to promote clean energy, contrasting with its stricter approach to fossil fuel development.

The Vineyard Wind project, a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid, was fast-tracked under the Biden administration and is part of a larger goal to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030. However, the administration's approach has faced criticism for potentially conflicting interests and for its impact on the oil and gas industry.

She just doesnt get it and never will!

The most vulnerable in our society. See why it is really just a sick cult like religion. So frightening. If you have parents or friends who are in the "elderly" category, please call them on a regular. And warn them.

In a letter to DOE Loan Programs Office Director Jigar Shah, the Republicans — House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Ranking Member John Barrasso, R-Wyo. — expressed concern about rewarding the Houston-based Sunnova Energy Corporation. They cited reports highlighting how Sunnova has previously scammed and misled consumers.

"We are alarmed about recent, credible reports that Sunnova has racked up numerous consumer complaints, including those alleging troubling sales practices, such as Sunnova pressing elderly homeowners in poor health to sign long-term contracts costing tens of thousands of dollars," they wrote to Shah.


"These reports cite interviews with individuals who struggled to deal with large contracts that their elderly parents signed shortly before passing away as well as state consumer complaints alleging maintenance delays and predatory sales strategies," the letter continued.

Earlier this year, for example, the Better Business Bureau issued an alert for Sunnova and assigned it an "F rating" over its pattern of "deceptive sales practices," poor customer service and repair technicians not arriving on schedule. And consumers reported that their issues were only resolved by Sunnova after filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

And the Washington Free Beacon reported last month that Sunnova has allegedly scammed vulnerable consumers including the elderly and sick. The report pointed to multiple examples of door-to-door Sunnova salesmen persuading such individuals to sign 25-year solar panel leases.

"It was truly ripping off old people," Terry Blythe, a Texas resident, told the outlet. "It was the biggest ripoff I've ever seen."

Blythe said her late father had been coerced into signing a 25-year solar panel lease in 2020 when he was 86 years old and suffering from dementia.

Mazel Tov - looks like you folks are on line!! Hoping for a massive Nor'easter to take one down quickly. Look at the size!!

Turning blades send first commercial offshore wind power onto U.S. grid​

When completed early next year, the wind farm will be able to generate 132 megawatts of offshore wind energy to power more than 70,000 homes.

NEW LONDON, Conn. — Despite some recent financial setbacks, U.S. offshore windpower has hit a milestone. An 800-foot tall turbine is now sending electricity onto the grid from a commercial-scale offshore wind farm on pace to be the country’s first.

The moment is years in the making and at the same time, a modest advance in what experts say needs to be a major buildout of this type of clean electricity to address climate change.

Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource announced Wednesday the first electricity from what will be a 12-turbine wind farm called South Fork Wind 35 miles east of Montauk Point, New York. It will be New York’s first offshore wind farm.



At State Pier in New London, Connecticut, blades and massive tower sections for South Fork are lined up, ready to leave port for the sea where they’ll be erected in the coming weeks. The nacelles that house the generator for each wind turbine are there, too.
