Virginia offshore wind farm could cost consumers billions | Eastern NC Now

A massive $9.8 Billion offshore wind farm has been approved by Virginia's Corporations Commission, which they had been mandated to do by legislation by Virginia's then Democrat-controlled legislature.   The commission noted that much of the design was unproven and that electric ratepayers would be on the hook for the cost if it failed or was inefficient.  Dominion Energy says it will likely have spent $3.7 Billion before they even know if it is going to work.  The commission pointed out that Dominion could have avoided the risk to consumers by arranging for an outside developer to build and operate the wind farm.

In North Carolina, we have a governor who is also a rabid advocate of expensive offshore wind and wants to build a big offshore wind farm near Wilmington.  Sadly, it is RINO legislative leaders, not Democrats, who have given him the backing to do so with their NC Green New Deal HB951.
