| Coming back from offshore fishing on a clear day one can easily see the ocean city skyline of buildings at ten miles out. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Regarding visibility, Mayor Mehan also pointed out how the height of the turbines planned has increased by startling footage. Although originally to be 550 feet tall, current size is now 938 ft tall. Even that could grow since the newest model turbines are 1065 ft tall. Weather dependent (especially sea haze), roughly, you could stand on the surf and not see any of an object 300 foot tall that is 10.7 miles out over the horizon. Or any of an object 940 foot tall that is 32 miles out. A 938-foot-tall wind turbine sitting only 11 miles out is going to be terribly obvious. Even at 26 miles out like Virginia and North Carolina you will have some view albeit slight. Mayor Meehan is also worried about views above the surf level. Roughly only 15 foot of elevation (think OP Beach Club) or first few floors of a condo or hotel and these figures change dramatically. |
