A submerged concern: offshore wind cables

As offshore wind turbines undergo construction in waters south of the Vineyard, and with some already standing and delivering power, the debates on the Island regarding the industry continue.

And amid the conversations over a necessity for clean energy, and whether the projects are a blow to the Vineyard’s natural charm – coupled with a mix of online misinformation campaigns against the offshore wind industry – one subject has remained submerged: undersea cables.

While cables – which connect wind farms to the New England power grid on the mainland – aren’t the flashiest parts of an offshore wind farm operation, some are nervous about what may lie ahead with them.

John Keene, president of the Martha’s Vineyard Fishermen’s Preservation Trust, told the Times that some in the fishing industry are nervous about how the electromagnetic field from the cables can affect marine life.

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 thought Ted Kennedy had windfarms at Marthas Vinyard quashed because they would have been in the area where his favorite sailing grounds were. :pondering:

He may have had them quashed as he was leery of workers finding more of his dead girlfriends in submerged cars on the ocean bottom while laying those cables
