I'm in favor of them, no argument. Lots of people think they are ugly....I think they are allot more pleasent to look at than a cooling tower or big smoke stacks. 5 miles offshore they will look relatively small. Initial studies say the birds aren't a problem. Hopefully you'll be able to fish near them but with today security stuff you'll probably be restricted by 300 feet or so.

As far as lowering anyones bill....especially on the cape, forget it. Into the grid and sold for as much as the grid is willing to pay for that day.

Does anyone know how the 2 turbines in hull operated money wise? I'm sure it goes into the grid and the town gets a check monthly. Are they owned by the town or leased or private? I didn't read too much in the paper about them.
