The Department of Transportation said no to funding a ridiculous plan to erect massive floating wind turbines off the coast of Maine.
This is great news for everyone who cares about reliable energy, the beautiful Maine coast, our fisheries, and marine mammals such as the highly endangered Right Whale.
CFACT has been in the forefront of the effort to expose the folly of this floating wind foolishness. CFACT scholar David Wojick’s reporting has been pivotal.
Bonner Cohen reports at CFACT.org that in addition to the impracticalities and environmental threats floating wind represents, ratepayers would have to pay 50% more for the electricity they produce than fixed wind turbines, which are expensive enough already!
State Representative Regan Paul led the fight to protect the Maine coast from floating turbines. It has been an honor to work with her.
Every victory counts, but the corporations seeking to cash in on billions of Biden-Harris climate cash will be back.
Fortunately, America is waking up to Biden’s big wind mistake.
