The company that manufactured a blade that broke free from a wind turbine off the coast of Nantucket in July is facing lawsuits and allegations that its quality control data was altered.

GE Vernova, the company that manufactured the blade, reported in its third quarter earnings call that the blade incident will cost the company $700 million. The failure scattered debris across the beaches of Nantucket, and as far away as New York and Rhode Island.

The company dispatched two vessels in October to retrieve what remained of the 300-foot blade from the bottom of the ocean, and the company was supposed to have finished the operation by the end of the month. Four months after the blade broke, according to Nantucket resident Mary Chalke, debris continues to wash up on the shores of the island.

“They’re small pieces. They seem to be getting smaller and smaller,” Chalke said in a video posted on X from Monday, which shows pieces of the blade about the size of a pencil eraser in the sand.

I'll bet this isn't an isolated occurrence.

Offshore Wind Farms are a more expensive, less productive energy producing fraud in comparison to coal and natural gas.

I thought this fraud was supposed to create high-paying American jobs, and not Canadian jobs.
