Reply to comment by CasuallyInsecureMan in Whale deaths exploited in 'cynical disinformation' campaign against offshore wind power, advocates say by hypoboxer

Glad you understand, but too bad there are 0 federal laws that protect the view from someone's home & states / towns don't have jurisdiction far enough out to sea to block most windmill projects.

I understand. I have no skin in the game. I voted for politicians (albeit not much of a choice) to best represent my ideals so I don’t have to spend time making these kinds of decisions. I fully support the installation of renewable energy and the eventusl switchover from fossil fuels to clean energy. I honestly don’t really care what happens here, but I’d be curious to know how offshore wind turbines would affect the value of property on the shore and the tourism industry in the summer. It’s a major part of the state’s economy.
