Biden's Nantucket offshore boondoggle is not being a 'good neighbor'.

In a press conference Tuesday morning held on Zoom, the Nantucket Select Board made 15 demands of Vineyard Wind, setting a two-week deadline for the offshore wind company to reply. If no reply is forthcoming, or if the Select Board deems Vineyard Wind’s responses inadequate, the town is leaving all of its options open -including legal action.
The statements by town officials marked the strongest rebuke yet of Vineyard Wind since the July 2024 blade failure that littered Nantucket's beaches with fiberglass and foam debris, and prompted federal authorities to shut down the project for nearly six months.
“This is not the first time that Vineyard Wind has seen many of these demands, so we expect two weeks is plenty of time for them to confirm their agreement, or to explain publicly why they should not be held accountable in these basic ways,” said Select Board member Brooke Mohr, who was the board’s chair during the July 2024 blade failure.
The demands fall into three broad categories: adequate communication, lighting, and emergency response planning. The Select Board alleges that Vineyard Wind has failed to live up to its commitments in the so-called “Good Neighbor Agreement” signed by both the company and the Town of Nantucket in all three areas. ...
If all of this wind turbine nonsense was justified by 'creating well paying American jobs', why are the turbine blades made in Canada or France? Why are a couple of the projects major backers a Spanish company and a Danish company?
