A patriotic pitch to “drive economic growth” seems to be the only strategy left for those interests intent on industrializing the Atlantic Coast of the United States
It would be perfectly possible to drive economic growth and provide well-payed unionized jobs by building energy-dense onshore power generation too. In that case though, the outcome would be the same except for the facts that while the power generated would be reliable, it would not kill avian and marine life, would not threaten species with extinction, would not endanger our fishing industries, nor would it produce utter ugliness right off our shores. Subsidies for wind need to end immediately and analogous to Keystone XL, we need to repeal permits for pending projects that have not yet been constructed.
I'm from New Bedford Ma a few years ago I went through some training to get ready for OSW and that's all that was talked about good paying jobs and everyone seeing dollar signs. I couldn't sell my soul for dollars and so happy I didn't sell out.
People are so opened mouth with closed minds around here as marine mammals keep washing up as they keep believing whatever the talking heads propaganda tells them to believe, even throwing in believe the science when reason and logic with actual pictures of dead marine mammals nope not from OSW at all science says so
This is a scam on a massive scale. As Andy Kessler said the Biden administration got through the Inflation Reduction Act with massive green gravy to the wind turbine companies and when we were looking the other way. I hope Lee Zeldin the newly appointed EPA Secretary has the same convictions as we do to "Stop These Things"!
Ultimately it's always about the money Follow the money and it will lead straight to Muphy and his minions door My hope is that the new administration with the people in place who can stop this like RFK and Zeldin and yes, even Trump who has said many times he will stop this assault on our shores With these people in power we have a good chance of avoiding what would be an Extinction Event for all the sealife and the birds that fly the eastern corridor every migration season
Thank you Linda for another great article Save the Whales SaveLBI
Whoa! What an all-encompassing article, Linda! Keep it up!

Climate $cience appears to be similar to Medical $cience: selective risks vs. benefits analysis.
