We've yet to hear any comments here suggesting adding an OC vacation to their plans to watch those offshore turbines.
Why would people in this forum be planning a vacation to OC? They already own property here. Also, recall the audience of several hundred folks at the January hearing. Likely on the side of preserving the viewscape I have no doubt. However, there is no empirical evidence that those turbines would severely damage OC tourism. Just speculation. Worst case scenario, could cause some deaths, from lost at sea accidents. Where is empirical evidence that has actually happened at other locations around the world? I'm clear in my opposition. I don't think they should be visible. As for all the other doomsday scenarios, pure speculation. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: 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. |
