DC:
The fishing industry is worried the first offshore wind farm to come online in the U.S. will ruin their way of life and kill jobs.
An offshore wind turbine three miles off the coast of Block Island, Rhode Island, will kill large numbers of fish and potentially drive hundreds of small coastal enterprises out of business, according to a fishing industry representative.
Ah, pipe dreams…
Ya know, a 1,000 MW reactor would solve a host of issues and only take up a few hundred acres….
Just saying
I’m not sure I want to eat fish that would get caught in the blades of wind turbines….
Sound or Vibration is essential for most sea dwellers. The Sea is a big boy and can take care of its self, however adding a constant Vibration could create problems we’ll never fully understand.
It’s for the children.
But, but, it’s green energy at 4 times the cost and 1/10th the energy output.
Sure, BUT It shows we care.
How does an 800 lb tuna fit in a tiny little can? 😀
The only thing that matters is that lefties will buy those little tiny cans of fish innards as long as the label says they’re organic, not genetically modified, sustainable, and all things greeny. No lefty, in good standing, will question the claim the little can weighs 800 pounds.
Another politrician looking for a payoff.
I only each the fish that I catch. Fresh fish is best fish.
So put the windmills in the breeding grounds and only build them on non breeding seasons.
Bull*$#&%(#&$, this is an attempt by someone to prevent a wind turbine being set up in their neighborhood! This is what happened on Cape Cod when they tried to put up a turbine outside of Hyannisport. Sen. Kennedy fought to prevent it from being set up. Don’t by it folks, they are trying to screw you!
Worry more about the hundreds of Chinese factory fishing ships just off our EEC, and around the world, vacuuming up the sea life.
