@ScottJenningsKY “It’s to put food on the table for poor NYC residents!” But what about NJ residents? Are they supposed to go hungry? Just because they are undocumented, they have to go back where they came from?
@SecretaryBurgum@POTUS Smart move. Sweden’s government this month blocked the construction of 13 offshore wind farms over concerns that they would shorten the country’s early-warning window for a Russian missile attack. https://t.co/9IkzyQD1W6
Why are you trying to gaslight the public about the cost of offshore wind? Every credible source shows OSW as the most expensive way to make electricity in the world. In fact, the Revolution Wind power purchase agreement is a public document and it shows for a fact that the cost for intermittent electricity from Revolution Wind for Rhode Island will be $98.40 per megawatt hour which is 2 to 3 times the cost of reliable natural gas produced electricity.
@NoahMisha84242@SecretaryBurgum This is false. There are no battery storage facilities associated with the cancelled projects. Wind turbines on average produce zero power 7 hours per day. Wind power has regular multi-day calm periods that 1-4 hour battery storage can not solve even if it were built
@SecretaryBurgum You are right. But it’s even worse than that. Not only are we paying 2x to 4x the cost for intermittent wind electricity, but we also need to pay for shadow conventional plants to run 24/7 in standby mode, burning 40% more due to inefficiencies caused by ramping up and down.
@RepDanGoldman@SecretaryBurgum@SecWar You don’t need a briefing. Just read the report that Biden’s team put together explaining why it will cause interference with military radar. It’s still on the gov website: https://t.co/wiSWNyos4C
@MikeHudema COPENHAGEN - Denmark will delay by at least three more years construction of a planned North Sea energy island to supply renewable power to three million European households, a government minister said on Wednesday, citing rising costs
@marcportermagee The thesis is that high income produces children with high IQ/SAT scores. A more likely thesis is that high IQ produces high income and IQ is inherited.
@SawyerMerritt This is the single most important issue towards improving public company governance in the US. 100 percent agree! ISS and Glass Lewis need to be made illegal
The source for the $98/MWh is from the power purchase agreement signed by Revolution wind and RI Energy (National Grid) So those price hikes have not kicked in yet, but will if Seth and Sheldon get their way and reverse the halt on Revolution wind construction. https://t.co/Mm2BjBzzwi
@TheStonesEG@NBC10_Tamara@GreenOceansRI@SenWhitehouse Small price to pay for intermittent and expensive electricity. If we don’t do something, California will have the most expensive electricity in the country. We need to act now.
