Offshore U.S. Wind: Childish Energy Policy
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- November 7, 2023“The Biden administration’s preposterous plan to establish 30,000 megawatts of nameplate Offshore Wind capacity by 2030 was always a pipedream. It’s what you get when you put the children in charge.” ( – Joseph Toomey, below)
Talented amateurs are often better than the ‘professionals’ when it comes to dissecting U.S. energy policy. Or maybe I have it reversed. The pros are those in the trenches and the amateurs are the ones on high.
So let’s call Joseph Toomey, independent management consultant, an expert. Here is his recent post about the much-in-the-news problems of the offshore wind industry under Biden Energy Policy.
Not long ago, this thread reiterated a resolute, long-standing belief that Offshore Wind is neither practical nor affordable, even in high-tax Democrat-governed Blue States of the U.S. Northeast and Middle Atlantic regions.…

Greed Energy Economics:
*** Wind industry confirms Great Green Lie
*** Collapse of projects shows again that wind power is not affordable
Profit At China’s Top Wind Firm Slumps 98%
Wind Unaffordable, Costs Common Sense
Unreliables (General):
*** Report: Green Energy and Economic Fabulist
*** Green Dreams Going Up in Smoke
*** Unplug the Green Boondoggle
Wind Energy — Offshore:
*** Beware the offshore wind oligarchy
*** Developer walks away from New Jersey offshore wind farms
Offshore wind farm proposal is ‘absolute madness’
Wind Energy — Other:
*** Taking the Wind Out of Climate Change (referencing 60± studies)
*** The Wind is Always Blowing Somewhere Fallacy
*** The case for wind power was built upon a myth
Nuclear Energy:
*** Clean energy breakthrough: eVinci nuclear microreactor from Westinghouse receives DOE contract
*** Nuclear Power Gains Momentum as Global Energy Concerns Resurface Amidst Geopolitical Tensions
The miraculous technology that could solve our energy problems and works now
Fossil Fuel Energy:
*** Five years later, evidence of fracking’s safety is stronger than ever
Anti-oil, but Definitely Pro-Products from Oil
Why ‘dirty’ coal is vital to a ‘clean’ green future
China continues to build large numbers of coal plants
What if we went back to a fossil-free society like the 1800’s?…
Kansas Energy Freedom Now!
By Sherri Lange -- November 3, 2023Nixing the Mandates in Kansas: Representative Carrie Barth (R-Dist 5) and former House Energy and Environment Chair, Dennis Hedke, reach astounding consensus on Energy Resolution: 180 to 1. There will be no energy “victims” in this state.
I don’t believe I am the typical politician. I don’t care about a political career or political threats. I care about doing the right thing.
I care about people. Period! (- Rep Carrie Barth in an email, October 9 2023)
Carrie Barth (R-Kansas, District 5) and Dennis Hedke, unapologetic supporter of the U.S. Constitution, acclaimed author of The Audacity of Freedom (2011), geophysicist, and former member Kansas House of Representatives (former Chair of the House Energy Committee), have drafted a clean and accurate Resolution for the Republican Party. This passed with overwhelming support. It appears to acknowledge that wind is not a good corporate citizen.…
