SouthCoast Wind EPA Permit January 17, 2025

The Town of Nantucket in November 2024 called on the public to help safeguard one of the nation’s most treasured National Historic Landmarks. They asked that you contact the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to urge them to decline to sign the Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for SouthCoast Wind. Section 106 requires federal agencies to consider the effects on historic properties of projects they carry out, assist, fund, permit, license, or approve throughout the country, and to find ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects on those properties.
.
By January 17, 2025, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement lifted the suspension order for the Vineyard Wind project without completing its long-promised “independent investigation” into the cause of the blade failure. 
.
BOEM blade "safety questions" remain unanswered over future projects such as SouthCoast Wind.
.
On January 17, 2025, EPA issued the final permit for the proposed construction and operation of SouthCoast Wind, LLC's offshore wind farm on the Outer Continental Shelf within miles of Nantucket. 
.
What are the odds of two major federal agencies BSEE and BOEM making decisions one week before the Presidential inauguration zero?   
.
In a video, a Biden administration staffer said they were “tossing gold bars off the Titanic” to spend billions of EPA Green Energy taxpayer dollars before President Donald Trump took office.
.
Jan 20, 2025 · Donald Trump was inaugurated as president of the United States.
.
Lee Zeldin was sworn in as the 17th Administrator of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on January 29, 2025 
.
The public needs answers.

Former President Joe Biden pushed as much money out the door before President Trump took office. The permit for SoutCoast Wind was issued without safety questions answered over the GE Vernova-Vineyard Wind blade failure and section 106 with the Town of Nantucket failed negotiations - There is no noise study of 200 wind turbines 12 miles off the coast and what effect on residential homes

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.
