Administrations lay plans to one-up America’s largest offshore wind farm

 Installation of the country’s largest offshore wind farm began in earnest just two months ago off the coast of Virginia, and the Biden administration announced Friday it will be auctioning another even bigger wind energy lease sale off the coast of the commonwealth.

Dominion Energy leased the approximately 113,000 acres that would become the site of the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project in 2013. After installing two pilot turbines in 2020, the utility began the installation of the rest of its 176 turbines in May.

In August, two central Atlantic lease areas – one, more than 101,000 acres off the coast of Delaware and Maryland and the other, about 176,500 acres “35 nautical miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay” – will be auctioned.

They do indeed work, but not how you might think....

Wow.  Is that from the effects of an offshore wind farm?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Just wait until a hurricane rips through one and those blades start washing ashore.
The largest blades are 351 feet long (that's 70% of the length of an Arleigh Burke class destroyer).

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.
