The Transportation Department is taking more wind out of the sails of offshore wind projects, raising new hurdles and concerns for an industry already struggling under mounting costs and logistical challenges. Craig Rucker, President and Founder of CFACT, argues that these federal actions highlight the impracticality and inefficiency of offshore wind, which continues to drain taxpayer dollars while failing to deliver promised energy solutions. He notes that instead of pouring resources into unreliable and environmentally damaging wind schemes, policymakers should focus on more dependable and cost-effective energy alternatives that truly serve America’s long-term needs.
