Yes to wind mills in general. Where they go is an issue for the experts in that field. I think they look for places that will have continuous wind above a certain speed , places that will have below a certain height of Max surf during hurricanes , Places where they power can be transmitted to the grid without too much line lose , palces with workable depths , etc , etc. The only drawback I see is on being obstacles to navigation. I don't think any other argument holds water , not even the drop in real estate values. I'm not so sure that would even happen.
Anyway , we need energy and we need it now. "Not in my back yard" has added a gazzilion dollars to the cost of energy in the USA.
I've been close to the one Near Portsmouth Abby and to be honest , nless you are looking right at it , you forget its even there.
So for me its thumbs up for wind power.

Unless you have wheels, Nantucket Sound IS a hazard to navigation.
Also Gosnold has it in the works to tell MV to screw itself and have a windfarm put up in their neighborhood.
How many remember the old windmill on Cuttyhunk? Hmm? Maybe Nebe?  |

Now what makes you think that you would be allowed to fish anywhere near these structures when they are built?
You may be able to fish, say 100' away from them, but nothing like we have imagined.
How close can you fish near the Plymouth power plant?
Remember the "no fishing/boating" zone established around Deer Island?
We are definitely counting our chickens before they are hatched, heck before the eggs have even been laid!

What makes you think you wouldn't be able to fish right up against them? Who do you think would own the turbines? |

That makes sense.
All it would take would be for one person to have an accident/incident with one and it could change.

Considering it was on the second highest hilltop on the island with 40 year old inefficient aluminum blades/hub/stator (?)...
YES!
It hadn't been used in nearly 20 years and was on the verge of falling down when they took it down. |
