Ocean Wind 1 just lost its developer.
No mention of Wind 2 which is also kaput.
It's so easy to declare a project approved and have morons applaud
when in reality they never produce a single watt but did manage to suck up some
federal tax dollars in futile planning expenses.

The reason to applaud is
that building wind power is a desirable goal so approval is a positive
step in making it happen.
Also easy: crowing when anything fails. Like this:
https://grist.org/climate-energy/from-peak-to-plummet-in-15-years-coal-continues-its-precipitous-decline/
The deal is that coal power is bad due to carbon and pollution, so this "precipitous decline" is good.
And wind in general is increasing and presently generates 10% or so of electricity in the US.

Why is wind 1 on your list? How many of these "approved projects"
are producing any power?

As if that's a great sign for this industry. Better they default before the whale carcasses litter their shores
than after.

As far as I can tell...nothing's been built. Just money and time wasted.

Thanks for fracking....wind has little to do with it.

There's been zero growth in electricity generation in the US for about 20 years.
That is not good for an economy looking to put it's heavy energy load of transportation
on the grid.

1 Turbine.....1.

Two more....that makes 3....Wow!

"Five years from now, Ørsted will have"
Orsted is the company that just paid big bucks to terminate and bail on a project.
