Offshore Wind on Cronicle Channel 5 tonight 7:30 9/21/23
 

Just saw the preview on the 5:30 news. Will be worth watching/recording. 7:30 tonight. I learned a lot from the preview....
This pic from New Bedford. (and no one from there has posted here????)

Look at the scale of that stuff.

We were there this morning….
pictures do not do it justice…
Difficult to process…..

Even more impressive off shore work in progress….

All the projects seem to require made in the USA such as the blades, towers, transport ships and American flagged ships with American crews. I can get behind that. What I am not sure of is how exactly the build out will change my immediate harbor area. And I have no idea how they plan to be tr#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g in materials to that site through Salem.... (But they did get the power plant built next door, so....)

Ray, it can't be said enough how massive this stuff is until you see for yourself..

Hu ?
I took those pictures this morning in New Bedford harbah….
Close enough to put graffiti on the ships… LOL

I regret not takin pics of the blades on the racks,,, so large it almost doesn’t look real….

We seen the field under construction fairly close with Chris on a BF trip…. freaken scary big…..

what’s even harder to fathom is the cost,,, !!! but happy to hear most is American made….

On the show someone said each blade would go from the end of one football endzone to the other...

Check out the bow for some perspective

That support ship in Guppy’s pic is Portugal flagged. As are other United Heavylift ships.

Beamie, I am quite sure that is what I heard. But here are links to the piece(s) to fact check me, or in case you missed it.

Closing of this piece is where I got it.

Actually talked with some folks at Seafreeze in Quonset. about the existing turbines out by Block Island. They weren’t too crazy about them; said they were affecting the offshore fishing out there. Don’t know if they’ll be happy about much bigger installations.

if anyone is interested ... one of the higher ups was on one/committee about whats going on & then the whole committee resigned . then got more info .. anyway A group mostly RISSA members has a petition going around again some stuff .I,m too old to try an figure what,s what .if anyone is interested .I would need your e-mail & I will forward the e-mail I received .

But to be honest I don,t believe its gonna make any fuc king difference ..with what what went down in over seas it ever was going getus totally fu ck just got alot bigger ........no worries about windmills ><>
