Not only in the US that OWF projects gets cancelled:
But these projects are cancelled by the developers BEFORE any substantial investments have been made.
There are also some good news to be found:
Also about development of floating wind turbines:
That’s odd. This (below) WAS the good news.
We’ve plenty of Old King Coal.
Annually? Can they ADD two million homes to be supplied annually?
Meanwhile, in the US:
Other countries spend Billions per year on onshore and offshore wind, solar and hydro power because it is clean, renewable and cheaper in the long run.
The US is heading the other way because the oil & gas and coal industries spend USD Millions to “bribe” politicians and “friendly media” to convince the public that it is “wasteful” and “cause cancer”.
this happens feuently in California “Patterson Pass”. they usually flip one blade and the whole thing comes down, usually with collateral damage
and thousands lose their jobs because of it. Hardly a government representing the ‘working people’.
lots of consumers waiting for that cheaper power
Power bills gone up everywhere with the green agenda
Its killing manufacturing in many countries

If its so expensive to install your bills go up and it doesnt last as long as a powerstation so perhaps it wont in fact ever be cheaper even when the input is free.
Not to even measure the co2 output to build all the green stuff
The reason to build it is because somebody thinks co2 is heating the world?

Building coal/oil/gas power plants are not free either:
But the levelized cost of power is what counts:
Thank God for US LNG huh?? It would be a cold Winter without it.
In 2024, Europe imported approximately 45% of its total LNG from the United States, which amounted to 46% of Europe’s total LNG imports or over 100 billion cubic meters (bcm) of LNG overall, with the US being the largest single supplier. While the EU’s total LNG imports declined from 2023 levels, the US still remained the dominant supplier, providing nearly half of the continent’s total LNG imports.
If US LNG supplies were disrupted what would be the source of fuel for electrical generation in the EU?
The US would be better off spending its electricity subsidy dollars on new small modular nuclear plants. Steady supply with zero emissions. The waste can be safely stored until fusion reactors become available within the next 100 years to reprocess it. There are also heavily radioactive sites such as Chernobyl where it could be stored without further harm. Chernobyl needs funding to maintain containment of the hottest zones.

Now back to offshore wind news:
half the price of Singapore power
