Silence from Shoreline Press on Undersea Electric Problems – We’re not talking what you can see, it’s what you can’t

All the exciting press about the installation of windfarms focuses on the seemingly blithe turbine blades swirling innocently in the free breeze,,, the mantra offered by Baker, Raimondo, Lamonte and Cuomo. The necessary undersea electric cables that connect the swan like turbines to the shore are viewed by the wind industry itself as their Achilles Heel. It has already shown its ugly face in the functioning of the five turbines off Block Island. This has placed an unexpected $80 million repair bill (just five turbines, mind you, and less that 18 miles of cable) on the rate payers. Orsted, which has  bought the Rhode Island wind company, has publicly said “we do not discuss our financial matters.” The repair will take two years, and a large swath of ocean is closed to commercial fishing—blues, sword, squid, lobster, clams, flounder, haddock. No fishing! Trawl gear hauled along the bottom will catch on that now exposed cable and strum it like a banjo string. Twang! Snap!!  >click to read< 16:54

    To think it was a few decades ago the tragedy of the “Perfect Storm” and crafters of the “Den off thieves” to think M.M. was so generous to EDF… Catch Shares i.e. We can’t forget Dr. Jane C. Lubchenco for this era too!!! When do you think they started planning??? RODA???
    I guess it is easy being green!!! What did they use to say,: “follow the Money???” Is there a best seller here??? Gina a Red Herring from a Squid State??? Then those darn repair bills for power lines!!! High voltage Electro-magnetic (radiation), stray electricity… The European Farms have never seen a major Whale Migration… Sand Lance an ocean critter main stay big and small… Sand their safe zones.
