Last year, the Biden administration set an ambitious new goal for the USA: to deploy 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity by the year 2030, increasing US offshore capacity more than seven hundred times over. The UK already has 15 GW of offshore wind, more than 300 times as much as the USA: and our experience should be a terrible warning to Americans.
The UK’s electricity prices are the highest since records began in 1920 and are now amongst the highest in all Europe. One reason for this is obvious: slightly less than half our electricity comes from gas-burning Combined Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGTs) and gas now costs £90 per megawatt-hour (MWh), nearly five times higher than normal. CCGTs are cheap to build (around £650m per GW) and operate. In normal times they would generate electricity at a total cost of £40 per MWh. That’s now risen to nearly £150/MWh, thanks to Vladimir Putin and his impact on the gas market

Germany’s disaster with green energy should also be heeded.
It’s not stupidity. The Climate BS is everything to the rats. Power, Control and unlimited funding. Everything.
not mistakes in their eyes....features
When President Trump let the drillers Drill Baby Drill, we became the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas. We were shipping huuuuge amounts of LNG to Europe. Our own NG prices plummeted. The Obama / Biden Regime attacks and destroys all forms of inexpensive energy.
AOC, the barmaid turned queen is the loud mouth ahole pushing for that here.

We have no one to blame for our demise but ourselves. National suicide seems to be the order of the day.
Hate too do it, but I agree. Most people are afraid to take a big step back, open there eyes and minds to observe the big picture.
