Another wind project on the East Coast may face challenges with turbine installation due to glauconite, a soil that crushes under high pressure. Preliminary geotechnical analysis for New England Wind, an Avangrid project, showed a risk of turbine pile foundation refusal in 50 of nearly 130 turbine locations, or about 40%, according to 2023 records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
"We are very disappointed by the decision, as it comes at the expense of the North Atlantic right whale and at a very precarious time for it, when 93 percent of the remaining 340 population rely on this small area within which the Vineyard Wind and eight additional projects will be located," the group said in a prepared statement. "We firmly believe that the court should not give deference to the federal agencies which are recklessly fast-tracking these projects. We plan to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States as we believe that this is a landmark case and a significant industrialization of the ocean."
