Will Biden’s U.S. offshore wind turbines actually be under the U.N.?

All 8 major projects now in progress lie outside U.S. Territorial Sea

Among all the nations pushing land-based or offshore wind-energy agendas, Russia is strangely missing. And while China, the world’s largest supplier of rare earth elements needed for wind turbines, is among the countries pushing wind energy, it is also building 43 new coal-fired power plants.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden’s Green New Deal wind turbines are killing whales, they’re destroying America’s fishing industry, they;re exploding bats’ lungs, they are chopping up flocks of birds, they’re reportedly causing a national defense issue by generating numerous false signals picked up by military radar, and also giving false signals to weather radar, causing complicated navigational challenges, and last but not least, are widely seen as an unreliable source of energy.

Yet, wind turbines are being built in the oceans to replace the reliable and cheap energy sources on which the United States has long relied. And of course, as wind farms are constructed, traditional energy power plants are being shut down.

Now comes a new and largely unspoken concern: These American wind turbines are all located outside of the U.S. Territorial Sea.

There are four official zones off the U.S. coast. From the low-water line along the coast, extending out 12 nautical miles (14 miles), there is what is called America’s “Territorial Sea”: “The territorial sea is sovereign territory, although foreign ships (military and civilian) are allowed innocent passage through it, or transit passage for straits; this sovereignty also extends to the airspace over and the seabed below.”

From the end of the Territorial Sea, the next 12 nautical miles (14 miles) are the “Contiguous Zone,” in which the U.S. can “exercise limited control to prevent or punish ‘infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea.'”
