On Friday, the Biden regime and its Energy Department announced they are giving domestic heat pump manufacturers a $169M gift. By deceitfully employing the Defence Production Act, Biden is going to make it almost impossible for consumers to have choices in heating appliances and fuels. The goal of this policy is to destroy the use of natural gas furnaces.

Here's the full rundown on the regime's latest dictate:

Most folks in the article say things that only partially cover the offshore situation, which caused major dips in Siemens, Oersted, etc., stock prices at the end of 2020; the smart money got out

All this well before the Ukraine events, which started in February 2022

If governments have extremist goals (disconnected from reality), such as 1) 30,000 MW of offshore by 2030, by the posse of idiots surrounding Biden, plus 2) the 36,000 MW of offshore by 2030, and 40,000 MW by 2040, by the in-disarray, totally-disconnected-from-markets UK government, then you can be sure disaster will be at hand.

It is equivalent to a demented bull in a China shop

Those goals were physically unachievable, even if there were abundant, low-cost financing, and low inflation, and low-cost energy, materials, labor, and a robust, smooth-running supply chain, to place in service about 9500 MW of offshore during each of the next 7 years, start 2024 to end 2030, which has never been done before, etc. 
During that time, older offshore units will be giving up the ghost/retiring.

One commentator said “renewables are not always reliable” 

That shows the types of ignorami driving the bus

WIND AND SOLAR ARE NEVER, EVER RELIABLE

The evidence shows, they will always need the following very costly items:

1) plenty of subsidies,
2) plus grid extension/reinforcement,
3) plus a fleet of quick-reacting power plants to counteract, on a less than minute-by-minute basis, 24/7/365, the wind/solar, up/down output,
4) plus a fleet of power plants to provide electricity during low wind/solar periods, and during high wind/solar periods, when rotors are feathered and locked,
5) plus output curtailment to prevent overloading the grid, i.e., paying owners for not producing what they could have produced

I will not even mention large scale-battery systems at $575/installed kWh, 2023 pricing of Tesla-based systems 

THE PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC INSANITY OF IT ALL HAS BEEN CLEAR TO ENERGY SYSTEMS ENGINEERS FOR AT LEAST 20 YEARS

US/UK 66,000 MW OF OFFSHORE WIND BY 2030; AN EXPENSIVE FANTASY

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.
