Newsom's Offshore Wind Plan Will Likely Cost Californians Tens of Billions of Dollars. They Already

Newsom's Offshore Wind Plan Will Likely Cost Californians Tens of Billions of Dollars. They Already Pay Some of the Nation's Highest Electric Bills.
'Californians could pay $80 billion, plus a large tab for transmission, and get little to nothing in return,' Cato Institute scholar says
 
January 9, 2025
Californians can once again expect a spike to their utility bills, which are already among the highest in the nation, thanks to the Newsom administration's pledge to buy electricity from offshore wind turbines. State-commissioned consultants expect residents will have to pay up to $40 billion, but outside experts predict the actual cost will be multiple times higher.
 
In August, the California Public Utilities Commission—appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D.)—authorized the state to begin soliciting up to 7.6 gigawatts of offshore wind energy, starting in 2027. That commitment ignored its consultants' recommendation to limit the project to between 1 and 3 gigawatts to avoid major increases to ratepayers' electricity bills.

If he does, he'll be hanging the LA fire victims out to dry which is perfectly fine, of course, to save the world.  And most of the liberals around LA will support him - as long as their houses weren't burned.  Democrats are very compassionate that way. *****rollingeyes*****

Likely?  It shall.

Cape Wind (off Martha's Vineyard in state waters) has been on the drawing board for over a decade.

Vineyard Wind (off Nantucket in Federal Waters) - the wind turbine blades are failing before construction is even complete.

Electricity rates will need to rise to cover the cost of development, operation, and supplemental electricity storage and generation for when it's not windy.

It requires Government subsidies and tax breaks because it is not a profitable business at free market rates for electricity.

Trump should declare the entire California coastal waters a whale sanctuary that prohibits off shore wind farms, but allows off shore drilling. Why not? If democrap presidents can steal land and coastal waters from states, why not a republican President?
