[Tell It Right]

Oh finally! The government’s price was finally revealed in the last paragraph of this piece of publicity stunt: 12.5 million for a single “potential” 1.25 Megawatt offshore generator.

Thanks to Robert A Cook PE for finding the real information of this project, showing that there's not much there there. I'll focus on the cost. This comes out to $10 per Watt, or $10,000 per kilowatt! Then you get into the fact that it has moving parts (more chance for failure), and repairs are done out on the water (making repairs cost way more than repairs on land).

Compared to my solar panels costing me $1,000 per kW (probably would have been $700 per kW if the solar tax credit didn't exist and artificially inflate the price I had to pay).

I got solar panels installed 2 years ago. Used the tax credit to buy this:

Gets around 80 miles per gallon. Better than the 12 MPG my 99 Suburban gets.
Thing is, the lady who sold the solar panels said that the payments on them would replace my electric bill. That hasn't happened.
Kinda disappointing.
