They know they have the bucks to get their power, so screw the
rest of us if there is any chance their view will be impaired.

8 mi. is the horizon over water thereabouts. BTW down here in La. we (saltwater fishers) have caught and will continue to catch off the rigs, fish, a lot of fish, good eating fish(bluefish for example are trashfish to be avoided). The oil rigs make for mo betta mo fish. The rigs that go out of production are shut down, cut up and sunk and continue to produce fish. The new deep water rigs (2k-5k ft. to bottom) don't take long (days) to attract fish. I like the lights and flares offshore of Grand Isle; who wants to look west (of Kaliforney) at flat black after dark.
Flare fishing, fun, another story.
