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?

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

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.
