And because offshore wind costs twice as much as gas-fired electricity and significantly more than onshore wind, the project is financially feasible only because the federal and state governments have promised $241 million in subsidies...

Oops. Maybe you shouldn't have voted for subsidizing those "green" energy companies, Senator.

Here in Germany the wind farms are only possible because of the tax breaks,etc. With the new government maybe this waste of time will go away. I have yet to see a singe windmill or field of windmills that improves on the view God provided!!

This is RFK, Jr., not Fat Red Ted.

Incidentally, if he's against subsidizing this wind farm, maybe he's against subsidizing all companies? Is that too much to hope for?
