Ah Boston. From North to South shore you will have those affluent coastal property owners fighting tooth and nail against wind turbines. They are too concerned on their property values and could care less about the environment. The Kennedys did whatever they could to block Cape Wind to install turbines in Hyannis, by the Cape Cod.

That means dealing with the wealthy property owners by the Long Island coastline. Who do not want to have the eyesore of seeing those turbines on the ocean sight lines, for fear of decreasing their property values. We had that issue in Massachusetts . The Kennedy clan fought tooth and nail not to have wind turbines by Hyannis . I recall the concessionary was Cape Wind LLC. Go check it out.

@bbmw9029 I understand. But residents in coastal communities are often the well off types , and they vote. If it is within their sight line, it matters little whose public domain ownership houses those wind farms. It’s called NIMBY. These wealthy folks have their people in all kinds of public offices as an exchange of patronage. They get the wind of it , it sure as heck it ends up in the ballot , and town hall meetings , where special voting sessions ensure there will be no windmills on these communities’ shore lines. They would rather pay higher electricity rates than to take in clean power. And I get something else for you. In California , there is a whole green washing industry that sends “ certified clean power “ to your electricity bill. When in reality you are getting a lot more coal fired power than you ought to fathom. Out of sight, out of mind.

@fatesend8637 Correct. The Cape Winds LLC against Barnstable County , I am not sure how it got sorted out , but it got ugly upon the time it was proposed , and it hit a nerve around Hyannis , MA. It so became because those wind turbines would be dotting the shorelines facing “ the Kennedy’s family compound. And everyone else else went along and against Cape Winds plan. It is odd as they have these wind turbines all over the European North Atlantic coast lines , but in the US Northeast , as a legal operator for these wind turbines , one has its work cut out on legal battles. Public domain waters be damned. And the irony of all is that most of these opponents might have solar roofs at their homes , in a place solar is hardly economically feasible , on net power. And across the country, precisely in California , folks get dupped by green power statements in their electricity bills claiming clean power source, when in reality , the bulk of that generated power is coal fired. All it takes is a tiny percentage in clean power to to get certified as “green “.
