And those kinds of claims of lowering electric costs have been shown to be false   -- as presented in earlier messages here.   Heavy subsidies add to costs unaccounted for,  as well as maintaining back up power for when the wind isn't blowing at threshold speeds

Costs of the the offshore wind industry have been going thru the roof.   Local evidence of that is the cancellation of the Orsted project here, months ago, due to rising costs.  Also multiple offshore wind contracts for New York were cancelled for similar reasons of rising costs. 

Yet the earlier survey was not disputed by several groups, per Wolf's earlier message.  Authorities accepting the opinion study included:

• The Assateague Coastal Trust
• The Maryland public service commission
• The Maryland office of the People's council
• State senator Jim Mathias
• BOEM
• The Audubon society

Seems there's plenty of credibility added by that range of official groups accepting the NC opinion study.
