4. Seven to twenty miles offshore...really?

Look to the Canadian shore folks and you will see it lined with wind farms. Clean energy. The people there refused to litter the water with these things. As a sailor I see huge problems with these things being seven to twenty miles off shore. Are you kidding. People do actually navigate these waters.

To top it off we will get 1999 technology by 2017. This is so Ohio. There has been research in wind improvements but it looks like we will get the whirl-e gig.

Don't get me wrong, I think every new structure built should include some form of solar/ wind energy source. I also think that we need wind and solar energy farms. For goodness sake let's be smart about what we build and where we put it!
