Texas legislators prepare to derail Biden’s proposed offshore wind farm off the Texas coast. The feds need the state’s permission to run lines from the federal waters to the state’s shores. Texas legislator Mayes Middleton explains that these farms and the lines interfere with commercial shipping, recreational fishing, and Texas wildlife. Moreover, the European-designed wind turbines and blades cannot withstand a category 4 or 5 hurricane, meaning they are destined for destruction if placed in the Texas Gulf Coast - arguably the worst place in America. Or anywhere on earth. Why should taxpayers foot the bill for a project that will be destroyed by mother nature? Sure, the wind farm builders will get to make money over and over again at taxpayer expense each time the wind farm is destroyed and rebuilt, but this is not a serious plan for resolving looming power outages.
