Save the Whales – 12 Days ‘Til POTATUS Exits the Pattern

The Biden administration’s last-minute push to approve any renewable scheme or shovel money out the door to any half-assed Green Grift proposal has been a frustrating exercise for them, and thank God for that.

…There are billions still sitting unspent in the oversized, loosely defined coffers reserved for the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). What isn’t already on its way out the door is being urged for immediate dispersion by progressives and Democrats. 

They want every last blue cent gone before Trump takes over and are making no bones about it.

Biden Administration Goes on ‘Dangerous and Destructive’ Climate Spending Spree Ahead of Trump Inauguration

As the clock ticks down toward President-elect Trump’s inauguration on January 20, Congressional Democrats are urging President Biden to “move expeditiously” to disburse billions of unspent dollars for climate funding authorized in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. 

They’ve been so shameless and so heedless of their responsibility to American taxpayers even the Environmental Protection Agency’s Inspector General called them out officially.

Now, I think this is actually a grand development because of their malfeasance and arrogant continuation of the behavior after being warned that their actions skirted legality is now a matter of public record.

Maybe someone will finally pay a price.

Towns up and down the Eastern seaboard have taken on the combined power of the wind industry and federal government with some recent big successes. 

Other isolated communities are firing up the legal teams even now, trying to stymie developments that have already been approved.

Opponents of the controversial Rail Tie wind farm in southern Albany County have sued federal regulators, hoping to halt the 149-turbine renewable energy project that would span 26,000 acres.

The suit, filed Dec. 23 in the U.S. District Court of Wyoming and assigned to Chief Judge Scott W. Skavdahl, alleges the federal Western Area Power Administration — a division of the U.S. Department of Energy — failed to adequately weigh impacts on wildlife, wetlands, cultural resources and the Ames Monument. The agency also ignored public comment and relied on a “stunning dearth of dispositive information” in its impact analysis and engaged “in what amounts to guesswork adorned with rhetorical misdirection,” plaintiffs claim.

“They [Western Area Power Administration] said ‘We can’t do anything to mitigate the environmental impacts,’ which just does not really track,” said plaintiffs’ attorney Bill Eubanks of Washington D.C.-based Eubanks & Associates. “If they really have no ability to reduce the impacts then why would you spend a bunch of time and taxpayer dollars doing these environmental reviews?”

The southeast region of the state is already inundated with wind development, plaintiffs say, which has impaired rural housing areas, industrialized ranchlands and other undeveloped areas while threatening to decimate golden eagle populations.

You’d THINK “conservation groups” would be fighting with these communities in Wyoming to protect their dwindling raptor population…you’d think.

Ah…no. They have other priorities, as other protest organizers in other communities across the country have discovered to their disgust.

Dealing with a rogue administration in the last throes of power makes for a dangerous situation regarding approvals flying willy-nilly for projects. It’s desperation time and the hail mary ‘okays’ are headed out the door to Biden Green grifting partners everywhere.

Not that anything will ever be built, but primarily because those toadies in the bowels of the EPA want to assure themselves cushy jobs when the Trump guys retake the offices and hopefully frogmarch a good number of them out of the buildings.

I hate that most of them will simply quit right beforehand and get away with most of this death and destruction.

I hate it.

I HATE WHAT THEY’VE DONE

And now we have a Baker’s dozen 🐋☠️ 13 dead in 31 days.

Five days before Christmas, even as other wind developers backed out of planned farms, the Biden administration approved yet another offshore wind farm.

The Biden-Harris administration today announced the approval of the SouthCoast Wind Project – the nation’s 11th commercial-scale offshore wind energy project approved under President Biden’s leadership. With today’s approval, the Department and its Bureau of Ocean Energy Management have approved over 19 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy from offshore wind energy projects – enough to power more than 6 million homes.

“When we walked in the door of this Administration, there were zero approved, commercial-scale offshore wind projects in federal waters. Today, I am proud to celebrate our 11th approval, a testament to the commitment and enduring progress made by the hardworking public servants at the Department of the Interior,” said Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. “With President Biden’s leadership through the Investing in America agenda, we are addressing the climate crisis, creating jobs, and building an enduring economy that supports all communities.”

“The approval of the SouthCoast Wind Project today demonstrates the strength of our collaborative process to deploy offshore wind. To help inform our decisions, our environmental reviews continue to integrate leading scientific research with key insights from Tribal Nations, states, other government agencies, industry, environmental groups, and ocean users,” said Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Director Elizabeth Klein. “As we mark this achievement, we look forward to the meaningful economic opportunities the SouthCoast Wind Project will bring to this region, both during construction and throughout the project’s lifetime.”

“This achievement.” The science – not The Science™ – is clear about what has been achieved and at what cost.

The science is clear. The increased wind industry boat traffic is behind the whale deaths. Scientists have also documented illegal, high-decibel noise, which separates mothers from babies. The Biden administration is covering up the evidence for money. https://t.co/fSC5wYqjm9

One more thing on my wish list for the Trump admin is to open up the books and expose every last ‘conservation’ group – Sierra Club, Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, etc – that collaborated and conspired with the EPA/ Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to advance this murderous scam to the cleansing light of day.

We hadn’t ever had a documented death in the history of our fishery
They set our take at less then one
We’ve exceeded that could be shut down at any moment

Let all the righteous, hectoring, lecturing hypocrites be seen and ruined when they stand exposed for the paid wind and solar industry whores they are.

I very much hope Trump sticks to his promises.

“Trump Says He Wants No Wind Farms Built During Presidency”

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he would seek to have a policy of having no wind farms constructed during his second term, threatening billions of dollars in planned wind projects.

It’s not like we don’t have great examples across the pond of what a ruinous scam it all is.

Demand right now is 45.5GW. Solar producing precisely zero and our 31GW fleet of wind turbines is managing just 2.5GW. Gas 23.5GW. How are we going to get to a net zero grid by 2030 Ed? pic.twitter.com/nnowLM5ycp

Here, we can count the dead and dying whales, bats, dolphins, raptors, tortoises, birds of every type…the list goes on, on land, in the air and at sea.

When Trump and Co. find out just how badly the country’s been raped by the climate cult grifters, maybe someone will actually go to jail.
