Their wind projects are not cost effective. What the foreign company is basically saying is if the US taxpayer doesn't keep footing the bill for our bullshit we are going to stop because we can't make any money.
Land based windturbines are losing money without subsides. Can you imagine how much more money it takes to build a windturbine offshore?
Another thing that amazes me about the wind energy is the pass from the animal rights / enviormental nut jobs. We were bombarded with images of birds covered in oil every time there was a spill or some obsure pit in the middle of no where had water fowl land on it, and yet the turbines are killing the waterfowl and raptors but the media and the enviros / animal rights people seem to have lost their voice. Why is that?
Also whales: https://greatawakening.win/p/16c2W8wzjg/offshore-windfarms-kill-whales/c/
And wait until the first major Northeaster, or even minor hurricane, comes through an offshore wind turbine array.
In New Jersey- there is strong opposition to offshore wind by environmental groups and fisherman.
Out west here there are thousands of acres being covered with them and not a peep from the eco crowd.
