Virginia’s risk of offshore wind turbine blade failure is serious
In Virginia we are looking at the biggest wind turbine ramp-up in history.

Acoustic harassment is ongoing and whales may be dying from it.
I strongly suggest we put a big hold on leasing and funding floating wind technology.
The article title is perfectly clear: "Carbon dioxide and a warming climate are not problems".
It seems not to have occurred to BOEM that a careful impact assessment under NEPA is essential before any leases are offered.
Surely it is illegal for a Federal Agency to take money that Congress has allocated for a specific program like INFRA and spend it on something else.
A floating net zero fantasy
Under the proposed system the government does not serve people it "manages" them, or at least their use of energy which is a lot of what we do.
We use a tremendous amount of electricity which net zero cannot possibly provide
CFACT and our allies are under attack for daring to defend right whales.
The potential impact is damaging enough to be worth thinking about, perhaps even doing something about.
When the Feds finally do the cumulative environmental impact analysis for whales as mandated by the Endangered Species Act there are a number of basic issues to be resolved. Here is a quick look at some for the desperately endangered North Atlantic Right Whale (NARW). Cumulative refers to the combined impact of multiple offshore projects. The first issue is which projects to combine for analysis. NARW are found along the entire Atlantic coastal waters which bounds the geography. Other endangered critters are found along the Gulf and West Coasts. Projects can be in very different stages of development. Here is a [...]
The Biden Administration has recently produced a wave of plans and regulatory actions aimed at building a monstrous amount of destructive offshore wind.
The boat is the Orion and it is BIG. Whales -- Watch out!
China has monopoly control over processed graphite, an essential component of almost all lithium-ion batteries.
