At what point did I say it was endangering whales? It will impact everyone's life because electric bills would skyrocket and my other concern is the long term impact that no one knows about.

exactly. Its Xanadu of the sea.
Maybe on top of that giant mountain of trash?
It's doubtful that electric bills would "skyrocket".
Electricity, as viewed from the perspective of the grid, is a commodity - not unlike crude oil. Some sources are more expensive than others, but in the aggregate things tend to even out.
who do you think is going to pay for the billions upon billions of dollars needed to build and maintain something like that? The maintenance alone would be insane
You're really overplaying it. The maintenance wouldn't be "insane" - there's a significant body of knowledge that speaks to offshore wind platform maintenance costs in temperate littoral waters.
You seem a little hysterical about this. Not sure why.
Hysterical lol? hardly. I'm good, especially now that it looks like the whole project is falling apart just like Orsted
Perhaps some enterprising U.S.-based firm will take over the project and use Chinese components to lower the cost.
sure, because we know how great Chinese manufactured goods are.
No. It's actually far less complex.
You were generalizing. I selected a particular frame of reference to disprove your generalization.

Yeah, the whole
Clothing?
The "China makes crap" argument is overplayed and outdated. Not everything from China is automatically junk, especially if it's made to the spec of a respected company.
Most bicycles around the globe come from Taiwan/China, for instance.
Don't know or care how that relates to windmill parts.

All of Trump's wearable products are made in China. Always have been, going waaay back to the "Trump Ties" thing.
Not sure what that has to do with windmills that aren’t going to be built.
Yeah, I'm positive you're using and loving Chinese-made products on a daily basis.
I'm equally positive you have no idea whatsoever if Chinese windmill components are any better or worse than those built somewhere else. Or where else they might be built.
One of the many recent ones since 2020

Precisely as much as it has to do with anything you said.
You're being a little slow on the uptake, here.
Who cares? And no, i don't, but it doesn't matter at this point because it doesn't look like windmills from anywhere are going up
Windmills will continue going up all over the world and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I don't care about the rest of the world, just NJ and apparently it has been stopped. By 2026 Murphy and his giant teeth will be gone and common sense will prevail
Maybe we can install the windmills on his giant horse teeth?
Even idiotic Germany has seen the uselessness of wind farms and is getting rid of some and going coal.
Wind is so 2010.
Wind is so 2010.
It is a true statement that Germany is taking down 8 Wind turbines built in 2001 that lie at the edge of an existing open-pit coal mine so that they can expand that coal mine.
However that statement ignores the rest of the story:
"Germany installed 128 new wind turbines with a total capacity of 0.6 gigawatts (GW) between January and April 2023, an increase in the growth rate of 46 percent compared to the same period in the year before, according to figures by the Fachagentur Windenergie. Licenses for new installations increased even faster, as the greenlighting of 324 new turbines with a total capacity of 1.7 GW meant an increase of 61 percent compared to 2022. About 28,500 turbines were in operation across Germany as of March 2023, with a combined capacity of 58.5 GW. Nearly 8,000 of these installations have been in operation for more than 20 years, meaning they no longer receive a guaranteed remuneration through Germany’s Renewable Energy Act (EEG)."
Germany increased its coal import by 8% last year,
Russia remained the top supplier of coal, despite sanctions imposed by the European Union in August banning the import of Russian coal to bloc members.
In second place came the US, with 9.4 million tons, a 32% increase from the year before.
Germany, as President Trump predicted, got caught with their pants down as it relates to energy.
They aren't going to be put in that position again.

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with wind power(which is growing rapidly), rather the short sighted decision to shut down nuke plants prematurely while dealing with the impact of reduced natural gas from RussiaGermany increased its coal import by 8% last year,
