GE Vernova, LM Wind, Vineyard Wind, NREL, Massachusetts: Regulatory Capture

 GE Vernova, LM Wind, Vineyard Wind, NREL Massachusetts, Blade Testing: Regulatory Capture 
.
Regulatory capture is when a special interest is prioritized over the public's general interest. 
.
Groups with high-stakes cash-rich interests in the outcome of offshore wind policy and regulations spend their resources to achieve the outcomes they want. The public, Jill and Joe citizens require a law firm to fight against any multibillion-dollar company.
.
It would be hard to find a place in Massachusetts that did not get a grant, contribution, job, or something from the offshore wind industry including the news media in the form of advertising and your local politician. 
.
Federal government agenda: President Joe Biden set a failed goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of wind power by 2030 through legislation that has caused a cost of living increase of up to twenty percent in locations.
.
Massachusetts agenda:  Massachusetts has declared war on fossil fuels by using wind turbines, which have caused collateral damage to, the environment,  marine life, the fishing industry, tourism, and your electric bill. 
.
In 2005 Massachusetts set failed land-based wind turbine renewable energy goals. A former Massachusetts state representative from East Freetown ended up in court and fined over residential wind turbines. The land-based wind agenda ended as a health fiasco for residents living near a single wind turbine now the Whales. 
.
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center ocean wind blade testing takes place as a springboard for jobs in the offshore wind business and for reaching the 2025 renewable energy goal.
.
GE Vernova, the bigger is better, wind turbine the more sales.  Offshore wind companies want profits with larger and larger wind blades. 
.
LM Wind Company is owned by GE Vernova as a holding company. The new 107-meter blades ( 351 feet)  are hybrid blades made with less carbon fiber which are quicker and easier to make never received a field or torsion test.
.
Between 2019 and 2020 a 107-meter prototype (351-foot) blade was tested at the MassCEC Wind Technology Test Center. The blade did not fit in the 300-foot test building. All the special interest groups, (regulatory capture)  bypassed torsion tests by cutting the blade into two parts. The engineers extrapolated figures on the experimental blades to certify and test the blades to produce 150 blades in Canada. Without a torsion test on the entire blade design failures could not be revealed.
.
Engineers failed to require that the entire 351-foot blades be tested, on a proper mast, for at least a year, in the North Sea, to ensure they would stand up to normal or extra-ordinary conditions. This is the only way to be sure additional catastrophic failures will not occur with thousands of these blades in the future.
.
Right now the field test is taking place in Nantucket. The environment has 60 tons of blade micro plastics in the ocean.
.
Over six months around 50 blades were installed off Nantucket Massachusetts and Dogger Bank, Europe. Three blades fell off the turbines or six percent per year. The formula shows one blade will fall off every six months for every 20 wind turbines installed.
.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Note # 
The federal government knew offshore wind blades over 90 meters ( 300 feet ) could not be tested for torsion at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative Wind Technology Test Center -
(They had to cut the blade to get it into the test center)
.
The blade was tested and certified by multiple agencies via poor engineers who put the public at risk

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.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
