Doc Brown would lose his mind if he heard this. 11 gigawatts powering millions of homes by 2040

Not if towns like Ocean City have their way.

Sustainable energy from aesthetically pleasing power generators bringing permanent well paying jobs. Clearly a threat to the quality of life of Ocean City residents. /s

These cunts only care about their view.

I never understood why people think wind turbines ruin their view, I think they look great. Most likely just making up excuses to oppose renewable energy, the same way right wingers say shit like "but what about the birds killed by wind energy?" or "but there's so much mercury in CFL bulbs!"
ImRedditorRick t1_iue08es wrote
It's just an insane, moronic argument because there is NO good reason to not go renewable in many cases, but the right had made it a political thing, so they have to latch onto something to explain why they're opposed to it

I agree with you. I also like the way they look.

I work in Atlantic City near the turbines there. I think they look good and they do not bother the view at all. If anything the sewerage plant they are located at looks better because of the turbines.

Jokes on them. Soon enough water front property will be inland enough to not see the turbines.

Those turbine blades are not recyclable or biodegradable and end up in landfills, there's more controversy with them i believe.

Guessing that they’re not on board with this

I seem to recall driving past a coal power plant on my way in to Ocean City for my entire life. They can take it easy. Wind turbines are definitely an upgrade over that gigantic cooling tower.

BL England. It was converted from Coal to oil and is now in the process of being torn down completely. They collapsed the cooling tower last month.

They wanted to originally convert it to Nat Gas but it would have required a new pipeline directly through the Pinelands.

Yes, and I am glad that got shut down

Don't worry they'll be under water by then

LBI too so many people have those move them 35 miles out save lbi signs on their lawn
