US announces ambitious plan to build giant wind farms on both coasts

The Biden administration is aiming to develop at least seven large-scale wind farms along U.S. coastlines as part of the president’s plan to deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power over the next decade.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland on Wednesday announced plans to hold up to seven new offshore lease sales in federal waters by 2025 on both the east and west coasts.
The administration is looking to have wind farms in the Gulf of Maine, Gulf of Mexico and off the coasts of New York and Mid-Atlantic states, the Carolinas, California and Oregon.
“This timetable provides two crucial ingredients for success: increased certainty and transparency. Together, we will meet our clean energy goals while addressing the needs of other ocean users and potentially impacted communities. We have big goals to achieve a clean energy economy and Interior is meeting the moment,” Haaland said.
The department has also partnered with other federal agencies to ramp up renewable energy production on public lands, with the goal of producing at least 25 gigawatts of onshore renewable energy over the next five years.
The announcement comes after the Biden administration earlier this year approved construction of the first large-scale offshore wind project in the country off the coast of Massachusetts.
The Vineyard Wind project will be located 12 nautical miles from Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., and is expected to be completed in 2023. The wind project will consist of 84 wind turbines that can produce enough energy to power more than 400,000 homes. The administration has previously said it expects the project to create 3,600 jobs.

The announcements are always great until you realize the implementation is terrible and the costs keep rising and rising.
Yes after stealing money from people lessening jobs in market driven industries you tyrannically "create" jobs. Idiots.
Hitler said rocks needed to be moved at the concentration camps creating thousands of jobs for the prison camp inmates.

I'm not against it if it makes sense. I think having multiple options to power the grid is the way to go. That includes O&G.

Day-after-day these people show us how utterly stupid they really are.

A hurricane in the Gulf would get those suckers spinning fast enough to generate the 1.21 jiggawatts needed for time travel.

Martha's vineyard might be a great spot.

I just saw this on the local morning show. There is no chance the libs on the coast want their views obstructed.

And migratory waterfowl could provide foie gras delivered to Obama front lawn. How convenient.

We are being told that there will be delays in receiving Christmas gifts but I’m sure these folks won’t be impacted by the supply chain issues that impact the rest of us.

Wind turbines are a blight on the land.
They also make no economic sense whatsoever.

So no oil rigs off the coast because "it doesn't look good " but we're going to put wind farms out there? Makes sense..
