Ørsted, world offshore wind leader, needs a giant jump in guaranteed prices or it’s going to abandon its immense offshore wind farms off the US Eastern seaboard.
In order to produce their (wildly fluctuating) power,they’ll need promises of $150-200 per MWh.
Yet Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York just closed excellent nuclear plants making just as much energy,but costing $35-55 per MWh!
And not that shifty crazy fluctuating power like offshore wind makes – but proper, steady, dependable power. The type that cities and factories can actually rely on.
These nuclear plants would’ve lasted FAR beyond the lifetime of these wind turbines being proposed to “replace” them.
These losers get massive subsidies on the front end and cripple taxpayers, then get subsidies on the back end in perpetuity crippling the same taxpayers as customers. It’s a goddamned racket.
Once again, wind and solar are nothing but expensive toys.
Texas (Gov Abbott) needs to make plans NOW for another 7 to 10 nuclear plants to be built to supply cheap, plentiful, RELIABLE baseload electricity.
Any clown who claims to be “for” the environment yet refuses to consider nuclear is an ignorant fool.
