The Vineyard Wind project, a significant green energy initiative supported by the Biden administration, has encountered serious issues, including a wind turbine that was struck by lightning. This incident, occurring just months after a serious blade mishap dropped fiberglass debris into the ocean, has led to the closure of multiple beaches in Nantucket. Initially celebrated for its potential in promoting clean energy and job creation, the project's current state raises concerns about its viability and environmental impact, underscoring the challenges faced in executing ambitious green energy goals.
In May 2021, the Biden-era Department of Interior announced the approval of the construction and operation of the Vineyard Wind project, which it said would be the first large-scale, offshore wind project in the United States.
The turbine was recently struck by lightning and destroyed just months after one of its blades dangerously fell into the Atlantic Ocean, dropping non-biodegradable fiberglass shards into the water.
