DOGE Review GE Vernova 107 Meter Vineyard Wind Blade Tests

DOGE Review GE Vernova 107 Meter Vineyard Wind Blade Tests  
.
A new department is being developed in the new administration called the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.
.
DOGE is a private group that will advise the White House on reducing spending and creating an entrepreneurial approach to government. 
.
Testing and certification review of the GE Vernova 107-meter blades made for Vineyard Wind is needed.
.
For years there has been a revolving door of state officials and employees going on to work in the wind industry and wind industry officials working for the state. A handshake between the state and wind contractors. 
.
The Massachusetts Wind Technology Testing Center completed in 2011 was built for 40 million. The wind turbine blade testing center had to be large enough to accommodate blades up to 295 feet ( 90 meters).
.
The blades brought into the WTTC were tested as one piece, including torsion tests. Torsion testing predicts a blade's behavior under twisting forces. 
.
By 2020 GE Vernova had to certify a 351-foot prototype hybrid blade (107 meters). Certification was required to manufacture blades at the LM Wind company plant in Canada. 
.
The certification took place at the 295-foot MassCEC WTTC in Boston cutting it into two parts. This raises red flags why did taxpayers pay 40 million for a 295-foot test center when they could have cut blades in parts?  
.
The state of Massachusetts, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and GE Vernova worked together to certify a 351-foot blade in a 295-foot test center with no field test. The state and federal government had renewable energy goals and GE Vernova had a profit margin.  
.
Massachusetts officials knew by 2020 that the state land-based wind turbine agenda had turned into a fiasco too close to residential homes causing health issues. Issues are well known by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy now governor. 
.
In the 2022 election: the Beacon Hill "Old Boy" network was replaced by the "Old Girl" network business as usual.
.
No matter how you cut it the torsion tests never took place and the prototype blade never received field tests for one year in a rough ocean environment. The public and marine environment are put at risk. 
.
The apparent rush to build the blades proceeded at the LM Wind company in Canada a holding company of General Electric. 
.
On July 13, 2024, the first blade broke off a Vineyard Wind turbine spewing 60 tons of microplastics, balsa wood, and fiberglass all over New England. 
.
It has been determined that up to ten percent of the blades made in Canada are defective. 
.
Would you buy a car if you knew ten percent are defective?

According to MSNBC, at least 5 Senate Republicans were a hard no on Gaetz:

  • Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
  • Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
  • Susan Collins (R-ME)
  • Markwayne Mullin (R-OH)
  • Sen.-elect John Curtis (R-UT)

At least five Senate Republicans were a 'no' on Matt Gaetz — McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, Mullin, Sen.-elect Curtis — and had communicated to other senators they were unlikely to be swayed.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
