We've yet to hear any comments here suggesting adding an OC vacation to their plans to watch those offshore turbines. Seems that amounts to a minor offset vs the probable large majority who love the unobstructed viewscape, and are speaking out.
Also, recall the audience of several hundred folks at the January hearing. Likely on the side of preserving the viewscape Nor hearing comments favoring seeing industrial size ships, cranes & barges carrying turbine blades as long as football fields to replace the West Ocean City quaint harbor. Nor sports fishermen anxious to see more than 100 turbines about 1,000 ft tall, assuming the 10 mile off shore areas are among the fishing grounds and corridors. But there may be a minor few anyhow. ?? I'd also be aware that those turbine towers are known to interfere with radar. And this has been admitted as a deterrent to search & rescue of boaters needing help. So I'd wonder whether individual boater's course guidance instruments are also impaired ?? Worst case scenario, could cause some deaths, from lost at sea accidents. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Indeed there's the adverse impact on tourism. I realize the above is the refrain from objectors, including yours truly. However, it might well be those windmills could be a tourist attraction or have no impact on tourism. At this point all is pure speculation. Sign boats and sign planes did not kill tourism. |
