The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I have wondered if the reason they wanted them offshore was so they could just sink them...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Broken wind turbine blade ‘crisis’ fuels NJ beach disaster fears

LONG BEACH — A New Jersey anti-wind group is demanding the state stop giving the green light to new offshore wind projects as pieces of fiberglass continue to wash up on the beaches of Nantucket.

The renewed calls for a moratorium on awards from the state Board of Public Utilities came from nonprofit Save Long Beach Island on Monday, several days after a wind turbine blade broke off the coast of Massachusetts.

Broken wind turbine blade "crisis"

All beaches along the south shore of Nantucket Island were closed for four days after a fiberglass wind turbine broke on July 13. Another large chunk of the blade fell off on July 18.

Swimming in the area was dangerous because "significant sharp debris" from the blade had been seen floating in the water, according to a public advisory from the township.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

Does the wind company have to setup an abandonment fee to take care of the abandoned windmill after its useful like, similar to what a lot of oil operators have to do?

All good wind turbines and batteries go to Heaven when they die, don't they?
