The Flood of Energy Absurdities Never Slows

[Note: This story was written for the Daily Caller]

I often write about absurdities in the energy space, the kinds of stories in which nothing seems to make sense, and which result in wasting of massive amounts of money on rank boondoggles. Indeed, I maintain an entire Substack focused entirely on what is an amazingly target-rich environment.

Despite enjoying such a wealth of absurd potential content, I found myself suffering from a bit of writer’s block Tuesday morning, thanks in large part to all the breaking news about debates and attempted assassinations permeating our society in recent days. But that was before two gloriously absurd stories popped into my in-box.

The first of these absurdities comes to us from the ritzy Massachusetts island of Nantucket, where debris from one of Joe Biden’s vaunted offshore wind monstrosities – speaking of rank boondoggles - was found littering the beaches in recent days. The Nantucket Current reports that the debris, apparently hard fiberglass material from a broken blade, originates from the Vineyard Wind 1 offshore project, whose first 10 massive turbines were only activated less than a month ago.
