Section 17: Energy & Climate Subject: Bertino Opposes MD Wind Msg# 1210497

Whether or not there's agreement with Trump's details, seems he's definitely against the offshore wind. Regardless of the steel components, the failures of fiberglass blades pose the more frequent maintenance failures. Even blade failures on new projects, for example like Nantucket.
Trump's bottom line view, his opposition, may be helpful to the Ocean City case if Trump is successful in November. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Predicting short offshore turbine life of nine years, Trump said: “Especially in the ocean, the saltwater absolutely eats through the steel like it’s nothing.” Ridiculous. From what I see it is stainless steel. Also used in offshore oil rigs but I don’t hear fanatical right wingers worrying about that. Environment? Talk to those down along the Gulf Coast. Oil gushing from the ocean floor for weeks. The hypocrisy is neck deep. |
