We’d like to thank Chris McCarthy @ WBSM for having us on his show last week. Please listen for some good discussion on the disaster that is #BigOffshoreWind.

Multiple Vestas turbine collapses keep major US wind farm offline. @VineyardWindUS & their @GEVernova turbines seem to have company. Imagine when this happens in the #ocean: massive environmental destruction. @njcoast_protect https://t.co/C9r02pGImS
How come @VineyardWindUS didn’t have lightning protection on an already compromised turbine? A blade was hit and caught on fire at the end of Feb. According to DNV, a global assurance and risk management company, "lightning damage is the single largest cause of unplanned downtime in wind turbines and the most common insurance claim filed by wind farm owners." Nothing to see here👀! @SaveNARW@saveLBIorg@njcoast_protect@GreenOceansRI
Read this to learn more about why Nantucket needs to exit the Good Neighbor Agreement w/ @VineyardWindUS and fight back against all offshore wind projects. https://t.co/rLhBX7u0SO

BOEM Releases EIS for Next Offshore Wind Farm as Industry Faces Uncertainty
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Friday, November 8, reported the availability of the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed SouthCoast Wind Project off the coast of Massachusetts. It is the next step in continuing to approve offshore wind projects but comes as the industry faces uncertainty after the election of Donald Trump, a disbeliever in wind energy, as the next U.S. president.
The SouthCoast Wind Energy proposal includes up to 147 wind turbine generators, up to five offshore substation platforms located at a maximum of 149 positions, and up to eight offshore export cables potentially making landfall in Brayton Point or Falmouth, Massachusetts. The lease area covers approximately 127,388 acres and is about 26 nautical miles south of Martha’s Vineyard and 20 nautical miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
