CFACT has joined with the Heartland Institute and American Coalition for Ocean Protection in submitting a hard-hitting public comment spotlighting numerous deficiencies found the government’s draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and demanding that federal regulators deny a request by Dominion Energy to build a massive offshore wind turbine complex off the coast of Virginia.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the agency charged with reviewing the matter, crafted a draft EIS that is “woefully inadequate” in addressing potential impacts to severely endangered right whales. In its zeal to push intermittent, inefficient wind energy on the nation, the Biden Administration is glossing over potentially devastating threats to the whales. This is particularly shocking to those of us used to seeing federal bureaucrats blow up insignificant threats to species to thwart development projects that are both productive and benign.
