Massachusetts just shut down it's offshore wind farm program and more are dying (a welcome event for those of us that pay our own bills ) http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...
That project failed because it didn't meet its financing deadline, because people opposed to it tied it up in court for too long. In other words, it didn't die because it was economically bad; it died because NIMBYs and reactionary anti-environmentalists like yourself murdered it.
Take this ludicrous bullshit (quoted from the article), for example:
The Cape Cod Times reports that Charles McLaughlin, Barnstableâ(TM)s assistant town attorney, said: "The townâ(TM)s concerns include the possibility that a collision between a boat and the large electric service platform the project requires could spill thousands of gallons of oil into the sound."
So, this town's conclusion is (incredulously) that the wind farm is bad because one of the oil tankers that it renders obsolete might hit it. That's not the fault of the wind farm; that's the fault of the goddamn oil tankers!
