Ruh roh! The peoples republic of Evanston is attempting a do gooder dream. We had better monitor these loons and call the Kennedy clan for some NIMBY advice.

Offshore wind make sense economically as you can put up very large turbines (5MW or more) which are the equivalent of 5 typical land-based ones, and they can be located near population centers where the demand is.
And therein lies the rub, “not in my backyard” becomes “not where the will spoil my ocean view”. If there aren’t 5 lawsuits filed against the wind farm by the very same libs who want renewable energy in a years time, I’ll be amazed.

Soo.... what’s the wind level when the power demand is highest for this area ???
In southwest US, in the summer when demand is peak (air conditioning) there’s no wind, which is why it’s so hot !

These people can’t do anything other than spend other peoples money on their boondooggles that will never even break even. These things are totally unsustainable economically and one of many, many the reasons the economy does so badly.

If they build enough windfarms in Illinois, will it fly away?

We'd better stop carrying ore on the Great Lakes. Wouldn't want one of these babies carrying 70,000 tons to run into a windmill -- the lights would go out. Who needs ore anyway? We can stop producing it the way we are stopping coal and oil production.
