Elections coming? Reality coming?
At least we're getting a break from having this junk rammed up our @$$. For now.
New York State on Friday cited "federal disruptions" and "market uncertainty" in canceling its latest and largest request for new offshore wind energy, months after several bidders had already pulled out of the process.
Nixing the solicitation puts an end, for now, to a plan that foresaw potentially thousands of new wind power arrays in deep waters off New York and New Jersey.
In a statement Friday, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which administers the state’s clean energy programs, said it "would not be prudent" to move ahead with its prior request for proposals for upward of 4,000 megawatts for offshore wind "given the current level of uncertainty" in the nascent, and troubled, U.S. offshore wind market. The bidding closed without an award "at this time," NYSERDA said.
