I understand why people don’t want to look at wind turbines from their vacation homes on the shore.

I want my view of the apocalypse to be unobstructed.

I fully support the installation of wind turbines, but I just think they should be installed offshore non-touristy areas first.

Windmills look cool, I love seeing them when I’m driving. We need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Glad you understand, but too bad there are 0 federal laws that protect the view from someone's home & states / towns don't have jurisdiction far enough out to sea to block most windmill projects.

I understand. I have no skin in the game. I voted for politicians (albeit not much of a choice) to best represent my ideals so I don’t have to spend time making these kinds of decisions. I fully support the installation of renewable energy and the eventusl switchover from fossil fuels to clean energy. I honestly don’t really care what happens here, but I’d be curious to know how offshore wind turbines would affect the value of property on the shore and the tourism industry in the summer. It’s a major part of the state’s economy.
