Offshore wind developers risk trouble with Trump
Can Big Wind get away with ignoring Trump?
Can Big Wind get away with ignoring Trump?
Dominion Energy is preparing to resume construction of one of the largest offshore wind projects in the world.
Offshore wind project developers will object to any such pause, but they understand and agree that such an action lies totally within the legal discretion of the federal government for causes “authorized by law,” which applies to the presidential memorandum.
The theory that CO2 is malevolent was enshrined in the so-called "Endangerment Finding" issued by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2009.
President Trump understands the issue. Executive action undoing a Biden mistake is the answer.
Investors fled as Dominion stock plummeted from $82,12 to $40.23 per share.
BOEM pretends it knows the noise impairment levels for Right Whales but hides its own admitted lack of knowledge on the issue and also obscures its ongoing research.
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has recently decided two cases which indicate that federal district courts are prepared to roll back the relentless onslaught of regulatory overreach advanced by the Biden Administration.
In NOAA's own opinion there will be eight human caused dead Right Whales caused by the project every year, even though the allowable amount is zero!
Have federal regulators turned a blind eye to the possibility of offshore wind farm encroachment on whale habitats?
There is nothing like a cluster of large whales washing up dead on the shores of New York, New Jersey, and Virginia.
The dilemma is how to pretend that it is doing everything it can to protect the critically endangered Right Whale, while at the same time green-lighting massive wind energy industrialization of the ocean waters off the East Coast.
BOEM cannot research, collaborate, minimize, mitigate, monitor, avoid, evaluate, or otherwise strategize its way out of a zero take marine environment for the North Atlantic Right Whale.
Would the new Youngkin Plan rein in these massive renewable energy boondoggles?
The Offshore Wind Project consists of 176 wind turbines, each larger than the Washington Monument, to be erected 27 miles out in the open ocean off the shore of Virginia Beach, at an initial estimated cost of $10 billion.
