Biden Administration Plans To Build Wind Farms To Power 10 Million Homes

The Biden administration laid out an ambitious plan Wednesday for government-funded wind farms along the east coast, which it said would sustain millions of Americans’ energy needs.

Multiple federal agencies are planning to collaborate on the project, which will be completed by 2030, Interior Department Secretary Deb Haaland said during a renewable energy conference in Boston on Wednesday. Overall, at least 30 gigawatts will be produced by offshore wind farms by decade’s end.

“The Interior Department is laying out an ambitious roadmap as we advance the Administration’s plans to confront climate change, create good-paying jobs, and accelerate the nation’s transition to a cleaner energy future,” Haaland stated.

“Together, we will meet our clean energy goals while addressing the needs of other ocean users and potentially impacted communities,” she continued. “We have big goals to achieve a clean energy economy and Interior is meeting the moment.”

The farms would produce enough energy, Haaland added, to support more than 10 million homes by 2030, the Associated Press reported.

The U.S. wind sector currently has a total capacity of 118 gigawatts, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Roughly 3% of the nation’s total energy is produced by wind farms, additional government data showed.

“We are working to facilitate a pipeline of projects that will establish confidence for the offshore wind industry,” Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Director Amanda Lefton said in a statement.

We will have power only a third of the time, and they will be trash in 10 years. Let’s fill the landfills! Let’s go Brandon!

- "where in the hell are the remaining 320 million AMERICANs and 35 million illegal aliens going to get their electricity" -

Please don't ask hard questions. After all, this is renewable power, which means that every time the wind starts blowing it renews making electricity. /s

Found this article. One stand out piece of info at the beginning of the article is the volume of fan blade waste. FORTY THREE MILLION TONNES? And what is the cost of doing this proposed recycling? If it’s cheaper to put them in the land fill......

Congress is buying up wind power manufacturers stocks accordingly. Pelosi and husband are leading the charge.

Put the first farms adjacent to Biden’s Delaware houses.

My first choice too.

Burning wood is solar and wind power. The trees grew thanks to the sun and the wind that brought the rains. So when you chop a tree down or pick up the wind-fallen branches, you are using renewable energy. OK? So take your wind farms and stick ‘em where the birds won’t get chopped to bits.

“...government-funded wind farms along the east coast...”

Have they run this past the Kennedys? They’ve been VERY efficient in keeping those ugly towers out of their pristine views.

Bad things happen when you cross them. Bad things like dying...

Not only do they destroy the beauty of God’s creation, but they are incredibly loud. The noise pollution is horrible and greedy neighbors have ruined the peace and serenity of country living for many adjacent property owners. They are an absolute curse!

However, some research has indicated that wind is unreliable, both because it relies on taxpayer funding and doesn’t produce a consistent amount of energy.

Wind relies on taxpayer funding?
