President Trump Vs Joe Biden's SouthCoast Wind Permit


Massachusetts 

On December 20, 2024, the Bureau of Ocean Management despite objections from the Town of Nantucket completed their review of the SouthCoast Wind project. The process was flawed. 
.
BOEM considers each offshore wind company installation a separate installation. The Vineyard Wind project currently under construction consists of 62 wind turbines.  The SouthCoast Wind project was approved for up to 141 turbines. BOEM does not consider the total of 203 turbines. 
.
BOEM failed to address critical deficiencies in the Section 106 process. First, a failure to appropriate a fair mitigation process for the visual effects on the Nantucket Historic Landmark, NHL. Next, an insufficient decommissioning fund to remove the turbines at the end of life. 
.
On July 13, 2024, a blade broke off a Vineyard Wind turbine, spewing 50 tons of microplastics, foam, and balsa wood, which is washing up on Nantucket today. The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement will not allow any of the 150 blades made in Canada to be used on this project.  
.
Since the Vineyard Wind blade failure, the Bureau of Ocean Management failed to address a legitimate safety plan for SouthCoast Wind that could prevent environmental harm. 
.
On January 17, 2025, three days before President Trump took office, BOEM and the Biden administration issued the final approval of the SouthCoast Wind Project called the Construction and Operations Plan (COP). 
.
There was a rush to dump green energy money and issue permits before the inauguration. A video on social media showed a Biden EPA appointee talking about: "tossing gold bars off the Titanic."   
.
A review of the Bureau of Ocean Management permit process is warranted.

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.
