Great assessment of the current state of the Atlantic Shores LLC boondoggle. The statements from the offshore wind companies all follow the same pattern. The main objectives are to minimize current and potential investor and government officials' anxiety and gaslight the OSW opposition. They consist of half truths, the crafty choice of words, and delusion. With knowledge of the federal government's hostile stance on OSW, the loss of an award from the NJPBU 4th solicitation, and Shell's "pause" related to the project, why would any government official enter into any type of agreement with Atlantic Shores LLC at this time?

This whole scheme is starting more and more to remind me of that legendary Montey Python skit involving two Knights in a sword fight The dismembered Knight on the ground insisting that it's just a flesh wound and he shall carry on

Let's hope this is just the death throws of an awful idea

I was thinking What if the President declared, in one of his many Executive Orders, that the entire Continental Shelf along the Atlantic Seaboard be declared Federal Nature Preserve? Bet that would gum up the works

Great article Linda I find you always learn more when you sit in the oppositions section 👍
