The saga of Vineyard Farms offshore blade failure near Nantucket continues.  A few weeks ago the facility was closed because of the failure of Vineyard Wind’s newly installed wind turbines, and the city was poised to sue.

After one blade failed and ended up in the water, the beaches were cluttered with sharp fiberglass shards, which is a sub-optimum condition at the height of the summer tourist season.  Continuing investigation into the cause of this environmental contamination incident determined that a manufacturing flaw in the blade was responsible for the failure.

More recently,  a “flotilla” of about two dozen commercial and recreational fishing vessels steamed to the wind farm to protest offshore wind development.

Given the scale of impact, one might think the event would warrant a remark of some kind from the latest instigator of the “green new deal.” But, no. During a recent discussion of wind farms, Biden was silent on the subject.
