GrokTALK!: Wind Farm Blues

GrokTALK!

This week is all about wind, and how the Trump Administration is protecting public land onshore and offshore from wasteful “energy” projects that underutilize the resource (land), under-deliver, harm wildlife, and compromise America’s needs, with some special attention on the Gulf of Maine.

Steve MacDonald

The New Hampshire House has taken significant steps toward protecting the “fragile” Gulf of Maine from big wind and its ratepayers from higher electricity costs – acknowledging that the latter is arguably too little too late.

Trump’s Wind EO Means We Can Still Save The Gulf Of Maine

Steve MacDonald

Donald Trump spent several hours after his swearing-in undoing what damage he could from the Biden regime. Hundreds of actions, from the border to ditching the Paris Climate Agreement and the WHO, opening up fossil fuel energy development and putting the brakes on Wind Farm leases. No new leases will be issued, and those in … Read more

Can Donald Trump Save the Gulf of Maine?

Steve MacDonald

President Trump will cut off all federal support for offshore Wind on day one. There will be no more prop-ups, price supports, federal incentives, discounts, or grants.

Is Someone Lying About Schiller Station’s Future?

Steve MacDonald

At the last meeting (before the lease sale) on the Gulf of Maine’s offshore wind development, someone asked about Schiller Station.

The Gulf Of Maine is For Sale

Steve MacDonald

The Biden Administration is in a mad rush to get offshore wind leases sold just in case Klimate Kamala blows it, loses in November, and the violent uprisings that would follow that don’t result in a change they can believe in. BOEM, the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management, has announced the sale of leases … Read more

Time is Running Out for the Gulf of Maine!Urgent!

Op-Ed

Who will stand up for the people and the oceans? Who will show up for us? There is not enough data on what will become of our fragile Gulf of Maine if this is allowed.
