Biden plans to expand offshore wind turbines to US coasts

The Biden administration has unveiled plans to expand offshore wind energy in a move that could see turbines built along much of the US coastline.

Seven areas on both coasts and the Gulf of Mexico will be auctioned for wind farms in the next few years, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said on Tuesday.

It comes as President Joe Biden pushes to reduce US fossil fuel use and expand the green energy economy.

Experts say dramatic action is needed to meet Mr Biden's climate goals.

The wind farms are part of Mr Biden's plan to generate 30 gigawatts (gw) of offshore wind energy - enough to power 10m homes - by 2030.

That goal falls short of the 40gw that the UK is planning. China is aiming to achieve around 73gw by the same date.

The White House approved the first commercial wind farm in the US off the coast of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts this summer.

"The Interior Department is laying out an ambitious road map as we advance the administration's plans to confront climate change, create good-paying jobs, and accelerate the nation's transition to a cleaner energy future," said Ms Haaland. ........

Remember when the Kennedy clan "NIMBYed" windmills off Cape Cod? Good times.

What about the fishies, birdies, whales, and property values in the Hamptons?

This is THE most expensive means of electricity production on the planet.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I recall the voices raised in protest over the "ugly oil rigs" which might have drilled over the horizon from there (and many of those rigs would have later moved on to leave a few production platforms), but now the cry is for pervasive and long lasting bird shredders?

Masters of inconsistent rhetoric and cognitive dissonance that these people are, I can't see how they can even converse.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

All that will do is to keep the Chinese wind turbine factories busy, and to suck up our tax dollars on worthless projects.

Will not do a damn thing to help this country, especially this winter.

So, Germany tried this and it failed, but some of the world's best engineers just didn't do it right? *****rollingeyes*****

yes, all the famous Marx boys born in America were either toy makers or comedians, leave it to a German to go the other way.

Maybe the Enviros will put up enough of of fuss about the windmills' bird-chopping tendencies to put the kibosh on this stupidity.
