Confusion grows over offshore wind controls

Bringing offshore wind under control will be a complex process under administrative law, which few people know much about. As a result there is likely to be a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. Some of this will be seriously funny.

A fine example, actually several, occurred during the Senate confirmation hearing for Governor Doug Burgum to be Secretary of Interior. The vehicle for this confusion is an exchange between Maine’s Senator Angus King and Burgum. Interior is the lead agency that leases offshore wind sites and oversees their development.

King basically asked Burgum for a commitment to carry forward the Department of the Interior’s offshore wind leases in the Gulf of Maine and offshore wind projects that are already in progress.

Burgum replied: “I’m not familiar with every project that the Interior has under way, but I’ll certainly be taking a look at all of those and if they make sense and they’re already in law, then they’ll continue.”

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

Take the subsidies away.

Then the confusion will die down as fast as the lack of adequate wind to power these monstrosities.
