They cost twice as much to erect them offshore and in this case we’re talking 3 miles offshore which will jack the cost up even more.

$4 million to erect 5 monuments to stupidity isn’t even believable.

Oregon has dams, that’s green energy that actually works every day, all day.

Exactly...We in OR & WA are fortunate that a huge amount of power is generated from the dams on the Columbia River, cheap power.

The Oregon State government has a notoriously bad energy subsidy program that pays out more to the companies that produce the least power. As soon as the subsidy was enacted green energy companies realized they could collect multiple subsidies by splitting up their intended projects into multiple projects. The cost to the state has been tremendous, the green energy produced, insignificant.
