Permitting is the big barrier to wind energy
- 32gbsd 4y agoJust build the wind mills in ny where there is no environment to protect. Problem solved. One problem does not negate other issues.
- 8bitsrule 4y ago> 42 megawatts (MW) are operating, 932 MW are under construction, and 18,581 are stuck in permitting processes.... permitting challenges likely dissuade would-be operators from attempting to install more. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), passed earlier this month, is supposed to reform the permitting process, which is a major culprit in U.S. reliance on fossil fuels. Wow. Had not heard that, thanks!
