“And as for those enviro-nuts: put the platforms west of Yankeetown and thereabouts. No beaches there, just marshland”
Actually one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to is just outside of Yankeetown. It is in the looming shadow of a nuclear power plant. Wonderful place and I’d go back again in a heartbeat.
Do you mean Fort Island Beach on Crystal Bay on 44 off of Suncoast Blvd, or somewhere along Powerline Road, OR across from Chambers Key (which isn't really on the Gulf)?
