The court did not declare the 5% rule untouchable. It found Treasury's explanation inadequate. Treasury can revisit the issue, appeals remain possible & projects relying solely on the 5% face uncertainty. The July 5 cliff is coming fast. @windaction msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-jud…

1/5 🧵In Massachusetts, the energy efficiency surcharge on electric bills has exploded, rising from 1.23 ¢/kWh in 2014 to 6.03 ¢/kWh in early 2025 — nearly 5× higher. For a typical 600 kWh/month household, that’s gone from $7.40 to $36 per month just for “EE.” @windaction

4/5 Original Mass Save (2008 Green Communities Act) was about “all cost-effective energy efficiency” — the cheapest kWh is the one you don’t consume. After 2021, cost became secondary to decarbonization goals.

5/5 A large and growing share of the budget now goes to electrification, which increases electricity consumption. The program is literally working in the opposite direction of classic energy efficiency. The original mission has been diluted.

NH has some of the highest electricity prices US-wide. Now our legislators are expanding above-market compensation for solar (HB221). No meaningful fiscal analysis. No serious discussion of rate impacts. Just another subsidy on ratepayer backs. @NHHouseGOP @KellyAyotte

1/3 🧵Vineyard Wind may have won the first round in court, but this fight is far from over. - GER caused the original problem w/defective blades. - VW escalated it into a brutal cash squeeze using aggressive, opportunistic tactics. @windaction @SaveNARW nantucketcurrent.com/news/ju…

2/3 Now both sides are losers: - GER is out significant cash and facing reputational damage. - VW is straining contractor relationships, increasing financing risk, and pushing the project into a high-friction dispute. The real outcome will be decided in arbitration—but ...

3/3 ...the VW-GE contract structure (remedy limits, potential caps, and the clawback issue) suggests VW’s headline claims will likely to be significantly reduced.

The U.S. approved offshore wind despite known risks to aviation safety and national security radars. The result: radar degradation is now embedded in the U.S. East Coast surveillance environment. Here’s how that happened - windaction.org/posts/56785 @windaction @SaveNARW

This isn’t “news”—it’s an industry complaint. Wind & solar developers admit they’re restructuring projects to avoid federal review. Permitting protects land, wildlife, national security. If projects can’t pass, fix the projects—not the rules. @windaction eenews.net/articles/federal-…

Those leases supported 4 GW of offshore wind ($22B buildout). At 30–40% federal tax credits, that’s $7–9B in taxpayer-supported subsidies tied to these projects.

Mainstream media called this payment an “extraordinary transfer of taxpayer dollars.” That’s flatly wrong. This was a 1-for-1 refund —and it avoided many billions in future subsidies. Thank you @realDonaldTrump and @SecretaryBurgum. You did the right thing!
