Plus, one would need to build the equivalent of hundreds of Tesla "gigafactories" to produce sufficient numbers of storage batteries to provide even a few hours of backup power for 30,000 MW of offshore wind, much less the 110,000 MW the Biden administration promises by 2050. In the U.S., the Biden administration is using the Ukraine invasion as an excuse to double down on green-energy and electric-vehicle policies, while simultaneously conspiring to keep gasoline prices high and berating oil companies for not producing more. But one particular facet typical of the administration's green-energy fantasies warrants special attention: its proposal to install 30,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind turbines by 2030, and 110,000 MW by 2050.
