The piers and dead birds will attract fish.

I was reading about the “London Array” wind farm. The first set of 175 wind turbines was completed in 2013.

The second set of 166 turbines was canceled due to objections from he Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.

The dead birds will go directly into the ocean, and will not be obvious. The public will not realize that these choppers are chopping up unsuspecting birds.

"Commercial-scale," but not "commercial."

The failure will be "government-scale."

the Block Island farm is set to become the first United States demonstration of offshore wind, which is far more prevalent in Europe and other places.

LOL, "and other places."

Junior High level reporting right there.

The dead bird count is easier to hide when it’s offshore.

I’m all for it.

If there isn’t a dime of taxpayer money expended, that is.

When the wind is below a certain speed, they are just a pile of junk: When the wind exceeds a certain speed, they
either shut off or self-destruct.
