    Joe's admin is pushing off-shore leases for wind farms in military exclusion zones without asking DoD if that's a problem.

    They finally decided to speak up.

    The maps reportedly show massive acreage blocked off in federal waters near North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Overall, four offshore wind lease areas proposed by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) are
    characterized as "highly problematic" while another two are identified as "requiring further study," per Bloomberg.

    The Pentagon's warning late last year, meanwhile, came years after it similarly warned in 2019 that much of the North Atlantic wind lease planning area was an "exclusion zone."

    No one mentions that off-shore wind farms are turning into huge issues for wildlife and their cost of operations is far higher than projected.

    Nor are the real costs of power ever considered vs the subsidized costs.

    By electrocuting whales and dolphins.

    So, the last time I went to Ocean City I really wasn't stung by a jellyfish, i was shocked by a wind turbine.

    I thought they shipped it by helicopter.
    Now I understand, and it explains why there aren't any helicopter pads.
