The “butterfly” affect of massive wind farms must be huge - disturbing the wind currents by the energy taken out of the winds proportionate to the energy absorbed (taken) by the wind farms. Where are the “environmental studies” on this???
Farms “take root”.
“Wind farms” don’t.
Nothing natural or nature-loving or environment-blending-in, or anything like that, in a “wind farm”.
Go find other people to baffle with your preposterous word salads and pagan sorcerer’s ways, New York Times.
And all of it gets to become part of the coral reef after the Beaufort Scale hits 9-12 during a wicked Nor’easter. I’m all for clean free energy, but when these things suffer a catastrophic malfunction they quiet literally come apart, dumping a massive amount of oil when the gearbox fails. The greenies never tell you about that part... Just do a search on
Signals the end of commercial fishing in state waters. Fish and shellfish: what can’t run dies. These platforms are not oil rigs and they are antithetical to sea life due to the electrical fields and vibrations the generate.
The noise and vibrations caused by them do lots of harm for migrating fish and sea mammals. It’s not just the birds.
And they say they care about our environment?
Good God, that is huge.
I'm assuming they will be able to withstand hurricane force winds. They probably plan it on paper but have they been tested in the real world?
Plant a wind farm ...
Reap the whirlwind ...
For reference, the John Hancock Tower in Boston ( remember the “Poywood Palace?) is 790 feet tall. These windmills are 800.
Well....It will be interesting to see how many whale beachings there will be.
