“The great Nantucket experiment gets an F-minus,” Kevin O’Leary, chairman of O’Leary Ventures, told Bloomberg, referring to the offshore turbine failure that resulted in broken fiberglass littering the pristine beaches of Nantucket last month. The turbine is part of the offshore Vineyard Wind project.
O’Leary continued, “It’s not a golden example of success in wind turbines, that’s for sure.”
The federal government ordered Vineyard Wind’s project south of Nantucket last month to halt construction and electricity generation following the blade malfunction.
The company managing the project determined the turbine blade failure was due to a “manufacturing deviation,” adding that before energy can be produced, all blades across the project will be inspected with ultrasound technology and drones, reported local media CapeCod.
I hope the powers that be, as they move forward with their lawsuit against the government have this info and the rest of the data on other failed projects like this. Speaking for myself only, I don’t want to see those monstrosities off the beach.
Busted parts pollution and closed beaches coming to a pristine Delmarva beach near you if MD’s Les Worse and DE’s Carney barker have their way kowtowing to the big money crowd behind this rip-off.
No to windmills in the water!
Again stupid
Just more money laundering b.s. using taxpayer money.
plus who pays for clean up,, nice how these companies come in and demand to put in wind mills whether the people want them or not
