Nantucket wind-farm wreck reveals the true cost of the left’s green energy push
Opinion by Daniel Turner • 11h
Joe Biden’s presidency isn’t the only thing in freefall this summer.
On July 13, a massive blade from a wind turbine nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower collapsed into Nantucket Sound, throwing the Massachusetts tourist destination into economic crisis at the height of the summer season and creating a political headache for the green warriors who have championed these costly and unproven boondoggles.
Yet media coverage has been notably subdued, even though miles of the island’s famous ocean beaches had to be closed for days due to the dangerous debris.
After all, the Biden-Harris administration has pledged to generate 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030, a national imperative they won’t abandon come hell or dirty water.
For comparison, the $4 billion Nantucket wind farm currently collapsing into the Atlantic had hoped to generate a mere 0.8 gigawatts — meaning the administration’s wind scheme offers 37 times as much potential economic and environmental disaster.
When the Vineyard Wind project that broke down so horrifically this month was greenlit by Biden’s Department of Interior in May 2021, it was billed as “the first large-scale, offshore wind project in the United States.”
