Atlantic Shores Wind Project Sinks—And With It, A Green Illusion
15 hours ago Charles Rotter

There are few things more satisfying than watching a multi-billion-dollar boondoggle collapse under the weight of its own bureaucratic absurdity and scientific sloppiness. That’s precisely what happened when a critical air permit for the Atlantic Shores South offshore wind farm was voided—just weeks after President Donald Trump publicly hoped the project was “dead and gone.” He got his wish.

And if this story weren’t already sweet enough, it came courtesy of Bloomberg, a publication not exactly known for its admiration of Trump or skepticism of the climate change-industrial complex.

The project—backed by none other than Shell New Energies and EDF Renewables—suffered a major blow when the U.S. Environmental Appeals Board granted a remand of the EPA’s air pollution permit. The agency had issued this permit less than six months earlier, but now, thanks to legal challenges from local citizens and the Trump administration’s new energy policies, it’s back to square one.

Let’s pause and savor the irony: a project intended to save the planet was derailed by the EPA—because of air pollution concerns. You can’t make this stuff up.

Offshore wind is negative value misplacement of capital resources for the generation of electricity. 

Those funds would be better spent on natural gas turbine cogeneration plants, oxygen-assisted combustion coal plants, and research into Throium as a source of fuel for nuclear fission reactors.
