Humboldt Wind Terminal Project Awarded Federal Grant from U.S. Maritime Administration–More Biden Waste

In New Jersey, a Denmark based form just took a $4 BILLION write off on a wind project.  In Connecticut and other places wind projects are being cancelled.  My guess is that in Humboldt, after millions of tax dollars are spent, they will cancel this project.  Remember, due to wind and solar, the cost of energy in California to the consumer is one of the highest in the nation.

And, that does not count the tax subsidies.

“– Following the announcement of a nearly $8.7 federal million grant to support the Humboldt Heavy Lift Marine Terminal for offshore wind, Crowley lauded the collaboration to secure the funding. This grant provides funds to progress the project to “shovel ready” status including design and permitting preparation costs.

Biden is just throwing money away. Your money.
