Rural and coastal residents delay, block green energy projects

Environmentalists insist that they love the “little guys” — until they get in their way, ask inconvenient questions or try to block renewable energy projects intended to save the planet from “human-caused climate cataclysms.”

Then the little people learn the environmentalists are really working with wind and solar energy companies, public utilities, finance giants, politicians and bureaucrats — the climate-industrial complex. Stand in its way, and farmers, rural communities and American Indian groups can face protracted, expensive battles. But they often emerge victorious.

Energy analyst and journalist Robert Bryce reports that these little guys have rejected or restricted 735 U.S. wind and solar projects since 2015, including 58 solar and 35 wind proposals so far this year. Transmission lines, grid-scale batteries and other plans also face growing resistance.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Because they are not 'green' and are in fact very destructive to the environment

Vineyard Wind Taking Down More Blades While Repairing Others After Inspections

Jason Graziadei • Oct 23, 2024

Vineyard Wind will be removing more blades that have already been installed at the wind farm southwest of Nantucket following the completion of inspections conducted in the aftermath of the July 13th blade failure.

GE Vernova, the manufacturer of the turbines and blades being installed by Vineyard Wind, stated early Wednesday that it intends to remove "some blades" from the wind farm after the re-examination of more than 8,300 ultrasound images per blade and physical blade inspections with “crawler” drones. It's unclear how many blades will be removed or what the inspections revealed, but the announcement clearly indicates the company discovered additional manufacturing deviations similar to what it believes caused the blade failure over the summer. ...



The only thing "green" about these projects are the kickbacks being paid to politicians.
