Another windfarm project gone and good riddance

A French windmill company has bowed out of the game now the the Biden bucks (aka taxpayer money) for destroying the environment using windmills has dried up.

In a filing published Tuesday, France-based EDF Renewables requested that New Jersey state regulators cancel an existing power supply contract related to its Atlantic Shores 1 wind project, a move that effectively suspends the project for the foreseeable future. The developer blamed uncertainty it says President Donald Trump’s actions have caused and suggested it preferred to ditch the project altogether rather than fight the president’s actions.

Trump’s EPA revoked its permits and is putting the squish on offshore wind projects.

We all know that windmills and solar have a much more detrimental effect on the environment than the rabid ‘environmentalists’ will ever cop to. They are not ‘green’ and never have been.

    I read or heard a blurb yesterday that Trump is going to rescind ALL permits for wind farms here, especially the one that are receiving taxpayer funded subsidies, which I believe is all of them.

    The ones on land kill birds and the ones in the ocean are killing whales, dolphins and seals, not to mention the cost charged for producing electricity is 3X any other electricity source and the construction of them is funded by taxpayers because of the climate change hoax.

    IMHO. the way forward for ensuring electricity availability into the future is medium and small scale thorium reactors. Small as in sized to provide power for a single dwelling. Not only are these reactors safe from melting down; although knowing our nuclear engineers they’ll find a way to screw up the design, they can be used to consume the waste nuclear fuel rods from plutonium reactors.

    The Chinese are working on developing thorium designs at several different scales. They liberated our technology because, in our usual foolishness, all of the U.S. research that was done on thorium reactors in the 70’s and 80’s is all posted online for anyone to use.

    As long as the reactor cores are safe from someone pulling them to be used as fuel for a fogger, I’d be okay with a plethora of small reactors. However, as Einstein is supposed to have said: “So far the universe is winning.”

    Good. Now let’s kill these giant solar farms that bespoil what would otherwise be good farmland or forest that gets clear cut to accommodate giant arrays of solar panels. They are a true environmental disaster in terms of impact from manufacture and disposal as well. Solar may have some value at the level of individual homes or commercial buildings, but even that is hard to pencil out without subsidies to sweeten the deal

    Frank–Exactly.

    Nemo–I hope he does. They’ve been a boondoggle from the start and most of the money goes to overseas companies. I agree on the SMRs being the best option.

    Frank–The new ones eat their own waste, at least the high level stuff.

    BRD–Absolutely could not agree more!!
