Contract was easy to get out of, were they paid money for it?

“Today’s announcement affirms our commitment to developing value creating projects

A little less Chinese steel scattered on the ocean floor is probably a good thing.

Green businesses exist to suck millions out of the public treasury, then file bankruptcy. It’s the Solyndra business model.

Th3 left scream and wail about oil rigs leaking fluid into the oceans, but are silent when confronted with the fact that wind mills fail and leak fluid all the time. I guess the toxic fluid from windmills doesn’t count to them

If some state or locality wants to “decarbonize”, then nuclear is the way to go.

Not your grandfather’s huge site-constructed behemoths with cooling towers and storage for “spent” uranium fuel rods. This is truly 21st Century innovation and advancement.

And there is more down the road with Thorium-fueled liquid salt reactors, which uses a much more plentiful fuel than enriched uranium, and leaves very little residual radioactivity.

So Orsted wants to back out of a wonderful, beautiful plan to turn Maryland green. The solution is obvious. The FBI should raid Orsted’s offices.

Oh, and find some woman to sue Orsted‘s CEO for some made-up crime.

"According to Orsted, the ORECs set forth under the company's agreement with the state are no longer commercially viable as a result of market conditions, including inflation, high interest rates and supply chain constraints."

All of these problems were created by the Left.

Music to my ears.
Death traps for birds, inefficient, disposal issues, the redundancy required imposes costs, whale and human health effects, community eyesores, limited life span to amortize costs, lowers property values.
What’s not to love?

Hopefully these specific projects will be canceled before all the migratory fowl are made extinct.

Needs higher subsidies, the numbers didn’t work after construction cost inflation.

They saw a pot of gold, then the legislature and unions loaded up prevailing wage, project labor agreements, and all sorts of other extra costs.
Killing whales didn’t stop it.
Killing dolphins didn’t stop it.
Higher interest rates and increased costs killed it.
Whales and dolphins celebrate.
