To Whom it may concern,
I am wondering why RCEA did not provide outreach to assure implementation of CARE level NEM rooftops and other structure being covered with solar panels and battery backups to achieve the nation wide levels of resilient electricity generation:
3. Oral & Written Communications
RCEA did note its 2022 accomplishments, but they fall far short of the national norm:
Sincerely,

Ship vs. Windturbine
The empty ship appears to have nearly sank after taking on water at some point following the collision with the blades.
Who is liable? Ships are commonly run on autopilot with a skeleton crew mostly doing ship maintenance. What additional costs will offshore wind impose on shipping, fishing, and transportation? To what extent should these additional costs be borne by the energy companies who chose to site the hazards on a foggy ocean. Or should shipping, fishing, and transportation assume costs of the hazard, and then where possible pass the externalized costs on to consumers?
