The studies are not from the same source. From the same university, yes. But the first study was done by the economics department. The one regarding lowering electricity prices was done by the environmental department. The offshore wind studies and reports that I have seen done by university environmental departments or based on telephone surveys , it appears, are biased at their conception . I would add that those done featuring Block Island are also irrelevant based on the uniqueness of that one situation . I'm not sure what studies/reports on electric costs have been already covered but I list these three for consideration: • The Cato Institute -https://www.cato.org/blog/unpacking-high-cost-offshore-wind-policy#:~:text=According%20to%20recent%20LCOE%20estimates,have%20become%20common%20reference%20points. • The John Locke Foundation -https://www.johnlocke.org/electricity-prices-would-skyrocket-under-coopers-offshore-wind-goals/ • USA Today - https://www.northjersey.com/story/opinion/2024/06/19/northeast-offshore-wind-will-impact-taxpayers/74137608007/ |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ok. Two studies from same source, one is praised; the other reviled. Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy taking place from radicals on both sides? Each side in the “political” struggle between right and left demonize the other. How many more repeats from Politics Forum can we expect? Let the sides fight it out in court. |
