    Offshore wind is especially bad because the turbines need a foundation that anchors the giant turbines to the ocean floor. Then there is the transmission line cost problem. Since Biden likes to sanction the planet, the parts to make turbines are more expensive. Nobody took the leases for offshore wind on the Greater Houston coast.

      I just see wind as not being that great compared to other technologies. Every time I’ve seen a field of them. Many are broken.
