Vineyard Wind Lawsuit Spinning Away

Contains some informational material on the abilities of windmills to produce at capacity (Hint - they never do)

Vineyard Wind Lawsuit Spinning Away

I wanted to give you all a quick update on the offshore wind farm that's been nothing but trouble since its inception - Vineyard Wind, off the Nantucket coast.

In the middle of April came word that one of the two partners in the project, GE Renewables, a subsidiary of GE Vernova (which made the infamous blades used in the project), had declared itself no longer a player. It was walking away.

This caused much angst amongst everyone, especially the Vineyard Wind development (with its offshore parents, Iberola and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners), which declared the nearly complete $4.5 billion (with a 'B') project could not be finished without GE Renewables full participation. They filed a lawsuit to force GE into honoring the contract.

Within 24 hours, Vineyard Wind had a ruling from a Suffolk Superior court judge telling GE they could not walk away, and to get back to work, calling the GE complaints 'fanciful,'

This project has been plodding along for so long that Walter Cronkite was criticizing it!

Not mentioned in the article is the damage being done to the environment.  The noise from the windmills has all but wiped out the breeding grounds if the Right Whales!

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Right whales? Maybe if they were Left whales, they'd care.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
