According to what I read they don’t yet have a customer lined up for this project.

A complete waste of time and MONEY. What do expect from crazy leftist RATS with Governor Moonbeam at the helm. They will never learn, they have no conscience, no brain.

By the time a “wind turbine” is all worn out, it has not quite paid for itself.

Without subsidies, it’s a bust.

Go for it, I don’t like seagulls anyway.

The land-based wind turbines need constant maintenance and fail and fall apart all the time. If one drives past a wind farm one will notice that most are not spinning since most failed some time prior and were abandoned in place.

I can imagine how quickly this will turn into a giant field of rusted floating junk in the marine environment.

Such b.s. projects do not exist without heavy public subsidies. Then ofc there are issues of the ludicrous over-promising involved in all wind power projects.... they can never provide steady power to the rated output, they will be idle or at low output for long periods of time, with power necessarily supplemented by other methods.... but the propagandists will take some wildly optimistic number such as "200,000 homes" and pretend that this project will actually provide that kind of power. Total b.s.

"The Trident project, which could power more than 200,000 homes" B.S. B.S. B.S.

We tried to do this off the coast of Delaware, with one of the windiest places on earth.

The economics did not work, even with subsidies and Delaware ratepayers willing to pay extra money each month for “green” energy.

The construction and maintenance costs of windfarms at sea are too high to be cost effective. Storms at sea and a harsh salt water environment add costs and shorten component life, far more than on land.

Thorium nuclear is the way to go.

a test case for a technology that is still in its infancy.

That premise is laughable in the extreme. An example from recent history would be the windchargers of the 30’s that went by by just as soon as rural electrification came along, also in the thirties. Wind when it blows, is fine, but when and where and how long and how much also enters the equation, and turns the math and money involved into a great big Z E R O.

Green energy, a utopian concept best shown the door. Coal is still the cheapest and most available energy producer and the more we attempt to ignore the facts, the more we will swat gnats and empty our pockets in the quest for what isn’t sustainable, beneficial, cost effective, or smart.

The off shore wind rigs will serve as precedence way for off shore drill rigs

[abclily]

All of these expensive clean energy projects are money laundering schemes for the democratic party.
