Offshore wind is gearing up to bulldoze the ocean

By David Wojick

 

The beginning: "The Biden Administration has recently produced a wave of plans and regulatory actions aimed at building a monstrous amount of destructive offshore wind.

No environmental impact assessment is included. Time scales range from tomorrow to 2050. Here is a quick look at some of it, starting with the Grand Plan.

 

“Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Offshore Wind” is the grandiose title of the Energy Department’s version of Biden’s vision.

Their basic idea is that having successfully traversed the unexpected cost crisis, offshore wind is ready to take off.

 

They point out that even though costs quickly jumped an average of 65%, the boom market is unchanged. The coastal States are raring to go with huge offshore wind targets and laws. In short, it is a seller’s market. Cost is no object.

They note that State mandates and targets already exceed the Biden goal of 100,000 MW by 2050. But why stop there?

They say that Net Zero requires an incredible 250,000 MW of offshore wind. At 15 MW a turbine, this is just under 17,000 monster towers.

 

The word “environmental” occurs frequently in this 62-page grand vision but it is always about environmental justice.  

The cumulatively destructive environmental impacts of lining our coast with towers and cables are ignored apparently not worth mentioning. Neither is cost.

 

Next comes transmission, where we have “AN ACTION PLAN FOR OFFSHORE WIND TRANSMISSION DEVELOPMENT IN THE U.S. ATLANTIC REGION“.

While the Pathways plan covers the US, this one is just about the Atlantic because that is where the big action is now.

 

This 110-pager is from the Energy Department and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which is actually building the offshore wind monster.

The basic idea is simple. Instead of bringing the juice ashore individually from each giant wind facility, we will build a massive high-voltage grid in the ocean.

This way, we can move the energy up and down the coast from wherever it is generated to where it is needed."

 

Lots more in the article. Please share it.

 

They have made their insanity clear. Let's stop them.

    The elites, and IPCC, and WEF, and $politicians, and entrenched bureaucrats, and compromised academia, and lapdog Media, have combined to perpetuate and/or enrich themselves and impoverish all others, using the unscientific hoax of "CO2 causes global warming". 

    The hoax is based on fossil fuels and CO2 being the villains

    However, CO2 greens the earth, creates flora and fauna, including us, and increases crop yields per acre, and reduces desert areas.

    We need more CO2, as proven by plant growth in greenhouses with 1000 to 1200 ppm CO2

    .

    The West’s scam includes wind/solar/batteries/hydrogen/CO2 extraction/EVs/air-source heat pumps, etc., to enrich/reward world elites, who will continue to fly their planes and sail their yachts
    No command/control, choking restrictions off any kind on them!!
    .
    These elitists caused the impoverishment of the EU, especially the UK and Germany., which are overrun by millions of scruffy, poor, inexperienced, uneducated, culturally-different folks, from all over, crossing borders, or secretly flown in, unvetted, to get free work permits, free phones, and free debit cards, and free housing, and free sucking from various leftist/Democrat-run government programs.
    .
    The elites want to impose their no-fossil-fuel misery on the rules-based world to the glory of the Golden Billion in The Garden of Eden.
    .
    However, fast-growing BRISC, with 11 members and 20 applicants, including China, India, Russia, etc., are not playing along with the multi-$trillion per year hoax and scam, and the demonizing of fossil fuels.
    In fact, they know it is a Western, rules-based, insanity, to impoverish them.

    Important Role of CO2 for Flora and Fauna Growth
    Plants require require at least 1000 to 1200 ppm of CO2, as proven in greenhouses
    Many plants have become extinct, along with the fauna they supported, due to a lack of CO2
    As a result, many areas of the world became arid and deserts.
    The current CO2 needs to at least double or triple
    Earth temperature increased about 1.2 C since 1900, which is due to many causes, such as fossil CO2, flora CO2, and permafrost methane which converts to CO2.
    CO2 emissions of fossil fuels are a blessing.
    CO2 has increased from about 296 ppm in 1900 to 423 ppm at end 2023. It:
    .
    1) Increased world greening by at least 10 to 15%, as measured by satellites since 1979.
    2) Increased world fauna
    3) Increased crop yields per acre.
    4) Reduced desert areas

    Oceans Absorb CO2
    CO2 molecules continuously move from the air into sea water, in accordance with Henry’s Law
    The sea water contains 3% salt, NaCl, by weight.
    The CO2 continuously combines with salt to form numerous Ca, Cl, O2 and H2 compounds that support ocean flora and fauna.
    As a result, the oceans are the major sink of CO2 from human and natural sources in the TS.
    At least 80% of new CO2 in the TS, human and natural, is added to the oceans
