Yep. The existing work will probably be useless if they are forced to abandon it.

Which material? What should have been bought from an American company instead of being imported?I read a bit on it. So apparently this was part of the Biden administration expenditures claiming more USA jobs. Shouldn't all the sourced material be USA made as well?
The only reason I can see that the project can be stopped by the president is if it is using federal funding.
The alternate energy pundits keep telling us it is cheaper than fossil fuel, so damn. It does not need any federal funding. If it is profitable, investors would be lining up to fund it.
I see this as a proper stoppage of wasting federal funds. Let the recipients of the power fund it.
Yes. It should have been clear. That Biden administration package of how many trillion was supposed to benefit the USA worker. Not foreign nations.Which material? What should have been bought from an American company instead of being imported?
And if that was going to be a requirement, shouldn't that have been clear from the start? The company satisfied all the requirements.
That seems inevitable give current US policy is essentially ceding green energy technology to China because, you know, "windmills cause cancer" and "DRILL BABY DRILL" or whatever.The project is just temporally shut down for a security review. We don't want our key energy infrastructure stamped with the 'made in China' label. Its too easy for them to manipulate it for politcal and military purposes.
Elections have consequences and one of its first victims is this windmill nonsense.Stupid, wasteful and incompetent.
When does this end?
How much waste will our Congress stand by and allow while this corrupt criminal destroys so much?
Trump halts work on an offshore wind project that's 80% complete, citing unspecified 'national security interests' | Fortune
Revolution Wind was expected to be Rhode Island and Connecticut’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm, capable of powering more than 350,000 homes.fortune.com

If we are going to subsidize USA projects, I want it all USA sourced!

Don't forget other green energy as well. The windmill, solar, geothermal "nonsense" can now be completely exploited by China even more now since we've decided to hobble ourselves by largely taking ourselves out of the race. So as the world moves to these technologies and China sorts out how to make them affordable, we too will be dependent on them if at some point we get out of the fossil fuels game, which is what most the world is looking to do.Elections have consequences and one of its first victims is this windmill nonsense.
Yeah, because the people who sell oil and coal and natural gas say that all alternatives to their hundreds of years old low-tech energy are nonsense.Elections have consequences and one of its first victims is this windmill nonsense.
I can't believe you are bitching about something from China, we have millions of somethings from China here already, no? You guys just make up issues where there are none.Just because its a Danish project doesn't mean it doesn't use Chinese components. China is the largest manufacturer of wind turbine components by far.
Their twisted reasoning will show up in their pocketbooks.Don't forget other green energy as well.

You can already see this at play in the EV market, where China has surpassed Tesla because it is innovating in making EVs affordable and solving for the charging issues with batteries as well as charging infrastructure. Anything the US produces is going to be behind because it is not doing the same, which seems like a ridiculous position to take since it's ideologically regressive and not practical at all.
Horse shit.The project is just temporally shut down for a security review. We don't want our key energy infrastructure stamped with the 'made in China' label. Its too easy for them to manipulate it for politcal and military purposes.
When you cannot get past old issues, you have nothing.That seems inevitable give current US policy is essentially ceding green energy technology to China because, you know, "windmills cause cancer" and "DRILL BABY DRILL" or whatever.
It’s only nonsense to the deliberately and stubbornly ignorant.Elections have consequences and one of its first victims is this windmill nonsense.
That's exactly what I'm talking about, it's the future. Living in the past is for the "DRILL BABY DRILL!!" pillocks who are totally missing the boat on where the technology is going. The US should have been working hard at solving the transition to green energy for the developing world so it can secure its businesses and economy on that growth. That's been almost entirely ceded to China, and once they can make green energy even more affordable and be the main provider, the US is going to flounder with its reliance on fossil fuels. It's absolutely idiotic.When you cannot get past old issues, you have nothing.
Move forward. Live in the day and the future. Stop living in the past.
I will remind you this type of thing happens when a project is partisan and based on agendas instead of reality. We do not need wind power. It is a future failure. It is not cost effective.
That's a bit daft considering these projects started under different conditions that did not have that kind of requirement, and if work is going to stop while that's sorted out, then that affects workers who will no longer be working until these materials are sourced here.
Break it out line by line. YOUR PROPAGANDA HAS NOT TEETH.Your post ignores government money spent on fossil fuels.
I don't buy the security review either, unless they are following hand grease money.Horse shit.
There was the oil depletion allowance. There are “cancer alleys” in Louisiana and Texas that cost us all to deal with. The US has fleets in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea due to the strategic location of oil resources there.Break it out line by line. YOUR PROPAGANDA HAS NOT TEETH.
Sorry. I do not believe the things you say. People keep attacking the fossil fuel industry with lies. Can you show me validated line by line facts, or not.There was the oil depletion allowance.

And of course there is to consider the related issue, the climate change hoax that Trump says was invented by the Chinese.
Just Google “cancer ally,” the locations of US Navy fleets, etc. Ironically conservative states like Texas and Florida are right behind California in solar. Texas, Iowa, Oklahoma and Kansas lead in wind power. Have these states, and the vast majority of countries in the world been attacking the fossil fuel industry with lies?Sorry. I do not believe the things you say. People keep attacking the fossil fuel industry with lies. Can you show me validated line by line facts, or not.
Why? There are so many lies on the internet. Nothing without validation is to be believed any longer.Just Google “cancer ally,” the locations of US Navy fleets, etc. Ironically conservative states like Texas and Florida are right behind California in solar.
