Blue States are a mess, a cesspool of stupid. New York isn't alone in this, you can find other Blue States with similar if not quite as bad energy policies.

Democrat donors and political activist groups are making millions off these policies. All on the backs of working and middle class people.

​

We have been lied to nonstop about wind power being cheaper than fossil fuels. Here's what happening in New York:​

​

"The state will pay $155 and $146 per megawatt-hour, respectively. These prices are steep, at least four times the average grid cost paid over the past year." ​

Ya know... 'people' that specialize in cutting wieners off of 1st-graders and killing babies as they exit the 'bonus hole' are not likely to be proficient in physics and energy. I'm just being practical. If your specialty is to shriek about abortions in the streets, I don't want you designing my power grid or even cleaning my toilets. Stick with what you know.

I'm proven right about this on a daily basis, but I remain flexible.

Change my mind.

And brainwashed Americans keep voting Democrat.

“beaches had to be closed amid peak tourist season, while crews picked up pieces of fiberglass-resin-plastic-foam blades, and boats dodged big pieces floating in the water. Worse, Vineyard Wind didn’t tell Nantucket officials about the problems until two days after the blade began disintegrating.

Each blade is 350 feet long and 140,000 pounds. That’s more than a fully occupied Boeing 737 jetliner. Vineyard Wind involves 186 blades: 65,000 feet (12 miles) in total combined length, weighing in at a combined 26,000,000 pounds!

The Biden-Harris offshore wind plan calls for 30,000 megawatts of generating capacity by 2030. That’s 2,500 gigantic 12-MW offshore turbines. That won’t even meet New York State’s current peak summer electricity needs, before all these extra demands kick in. Offshore wind’s contribution toward meeting future demands for all Atlantic Coast states could easily require 5,000 such turbines: 15,000 blades, weighing a combined 2 billion pounds and spanning a combined 5,250,000 feet (995 miles)!”

Was just going to post an article on this; beat me to it. Ridiculous scam by fake' environmentalists' running con games and getting rich off govt. subsidies.

New York to Pay $155 Per Megawatt Hour for Wind, Current Rate is $36 Per MWH

It currently costs NY about $36 per MWH for energy. But the state demanded wind. Let’s discuss the results.
