How many endangered sea birds will it kill?

What happened when a ship runs in to these turbines?

These turbines will need submerged cables to take the power to shore. What happens when fishing nets get snagged on this cable?

[Pontiac]

Don’t forget these wind turbines are probably made in China.

“The extremely high cost of offshore wind doesn’t worry environmentalists and progressives, however, because, as Salon.com says about the project, “it’s the precedent that counts.””

Just like Solyndra!

[oldtech]

Let “the precedent” pay the increased light bills. What a boondoggle!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

We have offshore power plants already. They’re called “sails.”

Quoth King Obongo:

“Electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket”

[Truth29]

"$1,000 per month electrical bills are coming..."

A lot of us are going to freeze in the dark if prices reach that level; unless, of course, if we agree to vote Democrat forever and then the money will be taken from those who need to pay "their fair share." The Rat tyranny is coming from all directions now.

These liberal 'elites' aren't even factoring in the high cost of repairs and damage due to salt water. This is liberals at their most vile...

Next - to stop oceans from (nonexistent) raising brain-dead elites are hiring thousands of people - giving them teaspoons and having them empty out the Atlantic. And yes, it will cost a fortune AND NOT WORK but it's the ‘intention’ that matters... (the ‘intention being for liberal elites to feel superior to the rest of us WHILE THROWING OUR TAX DOLLARS AWAY)

[Osage Orange]

Yeah....I have 5.
