US blocks all offshore wind construction, says reason is classified

Sweden is worried about a hostile neighbor. They're freaked out enough that they joined NATO after generations of non-alignment.

Who are we afraid of? If ICBMs are incoming to the Continental United States the world is ending. Regardless of whether we prevent wind farms in any of the 12,000+ miles of coastline.

Are we expecting missiles to come from the Gulf of Mexico? People always bend over backwards to justify this administration. It's tiresome.

its up to discussion. US has many measures which combined could give them a chance to survive nuclear war, namely: preemptive strike by tridents on enemy's silos(https://thebulletin.org/2017/03/how-us-nuclear-force-moderni...) and anti missile defense.

there is a possibility of submarine launch from that direction.

Nuclear war isn't winnable. It's stupid and dangerous to pretend otherwise.

humans already gave nuclear buttons to politicians and dictators with questionable intelligence, so it doesn't matter what you are pretending exactly.
