is criminal.

People are clamoring to destroy the offshore continental shelf with these grease and metal machines where I live, in New Jersey.

The dickhead who heads our local Sierra Club here in New Jersey is drooling all over his fat ass about it with enthusiasm. He seems not to realize, being uninformed and rather ignorant, that the Sierra Club was founded by John Muir to oppose a great big renewable energy project that destroyed the Hetch Hetchy valley, eliminating access to it for all future generations.

It's going to happen here in fact, there's going to be big diesel barges with huge cranes assembling this crap off the coast of New Jersey, where it will produce intermittent power, backed up by redundant dangerous natural gas plants powered by PA fracked gas, for 20 years and then rot off the coast for eternity. It disgusts me.
