Severe impacts to East Coast beaches (in addition to the habitat of whales) are threatened by the wind turbines being put up off the east coast. I asked here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.cfact.org\/2024\/03\/12\/where-are-the-true-environmentalists<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are the true environmentalists with what is going on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wind turbine that collapsed closed Nantucket Beaches recently. They are open now, but what makes anyone think the numerous bits and pieces of this are not floating around? Perhaps washing on shore leading to problems with people not only with swimming but also with even walking on the beach?<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There has been no strong storm around. So what caused this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now let me ask this question as if this is being ignored. If this happens with nothing going on, what do you think will happen if a storm like 1821 runs through these wind fields?<\/p>\n\n\n

In a typical two-faced fashion, the people driving the whole climate disaster scenario are also pushing wind turbines in an area where you are asking for trouble. This hurricane drought on the NE coast can\u2019t last forever (nothing in 33 years, when it was once every 7 years from 1938-1991). We hear how bad it is. It\u2019s not, but a return to the \u201cnormalcy\u201d that was the East Coast hurricane frequency (of course, if that happens, they will blame man-made climate change) means they have set up a disaster. Suppose 10-15% of the turbines are damaged by a cat 2 going through there. The cleanup of the resort beaches will be in the billions. Given the motives of these people that drive the man-made climate agenda, maybe that is what they want. They pump everything as a result of man-made climate change. A recent WSJ article on how the eastern heat is causing billions in uninsured losses fails to mention the counter. When it gets hot, more people go to the beach, and the resorts prosper.  Of course, if wind turbine parts are washing up on shore, who wants to go to the beach?  My point is in every single thing the left does, from climate to what you are seeing now across the board, they set the whole thing up with deception, distortion, and delusion, create the problem, and then blame something they are targeting for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is no difference. And it\u2019s a fiasco in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess if one of these washed up in Barack Obama\u2019s place on Martha\u2019s Vineyard, it would get his attention\u2014no paddle-boarding for a while (sarc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
