Biden Administration Announces: "We Want to See Beautiful Offshore Wind Turbine Farms by 2030" and is Investing $12 Bil Annually

[AFrench2]

Yeah, and mile island as well...and Fukishima Reactor in Japan. Accidents happen

Weren't you around when FDR and Keynes were still alive? Both of them were part of the New Deal/World War II economy...you know that. Now stay on topic of the wind farms, Sparky

Have you actually studied Keynes' economic theories, FFrench?

Yes, why?

Having done so...do you think Keynes would be comfortable with what Keynesian Economic theory now means to the left?

Hmmm maybe a little bit. I think he would be flabbergasted about the state of the Military-Industrial Complex, but I think he would be wanting more spending

When a hurricane comes along what then?

They are built to withstand them.

Interesting...so you think Keynes advocated for unrestrained Governmental spending?

Offshore wind turbines make good sense. Biden is doing SO much better than his godawful predecessor.

When a hurricane comes along what then?

Yah! Cause, for shure those people putting up billions of dollars never thought about hurricanes. Man! Will they every be surprised!

Like the people that put up billions of dollars for them in Texas thought about what could happen if severe below freezing temperatures hit for several days in row.

And what happened to them that didn't also affect gas, coal and nuclear plants in the state?

The White House on Monday detailed an ambitious plan to expand wind farms along the East Coast and jump-start the country’s nascent offshore wind industry, saying it hoped to trigger a massive clean-energy effort in the fight against climate change.

The plan would generate 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power by the end of the decade — enough to power more than 10 million American homes and cut 78 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. To accomplish that, the Biden administration said, it would speed permitting for projects off the East Coast, invest in research and development, provide low-interest loans to industry and fund changes to U.S. ports.

The initiative represents a major stretch for the United States. The country has only one offshore wind project online at this time, generating 30 megawatts, off Rhode Island.

-In addition, they will partner with corporate America to help map out data regarding ocean climate and bio-diversity.-

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has entered a memorandum of agreement with Ørsted Wind Power North America LLC, an offshore wind development company to share physical and biological data in Ørsted-leased waters subject to U.S. jurisdiction. NOAA anticipates that Ørsted’s data will fill gaps in ocean mapping and observing to help NOAA better understand weather, climate and ocean processes and build resilient coastal communities and economies. As part of the agreement, NOAA will also share its publicly available data with Ørsted. Together, this information sharing will be used to ensure that offshore renewable energy technologies and infrastructure are developed, deployed, and maintained effectively.

Well, looks like they want to move towards cleaner energy.

Well, no Kennedys in Congress, so it might pass.

Do you have any idea how many electricians, apprentices, helpers, and supporting trades those projects employ?

How much they pay?

Or commercial solar projects?

Let someone who has worked them help you out.

A hell of a lot more than all fossil fuel jobs, and pipeline jobs combined.

Electricians make $8000-$20,000 a month, depending on the project. Apprentices, make $20-$35 an hour depending on the project. Helpers make $600-$1000 a week depending on the project.

Those are the on shore jobs. The off shore jobs pay more.

Once renewable energy installations hit the residential market at a faster pace than they are now, there's your green energy economy, and it will be huge for decades to come.

Anybody that hasn't grasped this fact yet is an idiot. And trust me when I tell you, none of the guys currently working those jobs, give a rats ass what the naysayers think.

I worked 37 years in the oil and gas industry. The pay is outrageous.

Well, looks like they want to move towards cleaner energy. They want it to look like this:
View attachment 473947

And the clean energy production is an outright lie.....Wind mills never work as "expected"...Never. They Break down constantly and require A and P mechanics not afraid of heights to fix......on top of this out in the ocean water----YOU ARE talking fucking corrosion constantly and never mind hurricanes wiping them completely out. Then you have the whole issue of the birds that this shit will kill...........

This is a money GRAB------------Biden is funnelling billions $$ to someone who has already paid him off.

 

[Turtlesoup]

Offshore wind turbines make good sense. Biden is doing SO much better than his godawful predecessor.

Only if you are moron............metal in salt water-----corrosion. wind turbines in ocean with hurricans? Bye bye wind mill.

Its a money funnelling scam.......plain and simple.

 

[Crick]

Well, hmm... metal and salt water. Thank god you thought of this. Think of all those freighters and cruise liners out there! My god, we have to get them to shore before the fall apart and SINK! And the oil rigs! And the sea walls! AND THE NAVY!!!!

Thank GOD you spoke up!!!

When a hurricane comes along what then?

Because those left wing idiots never thought about hurricanes, right? And, of course, there are only left wingers involved in designing and building these things. Right? Have you ever thought of actually engaging your brain before posting a comment?
