      Currently the Block Island Wind farm is the only Ocean Wind Farm Instillation in the United States… An according to the site the Power Lines run between 30,000 to 40,000 Volts well below the several Hundred Thousand to over a Million Volts coming from a full size 1,000 Turbine Site!!! At these levels Cancer causing Electromagnetic Fields are a fact off life… Similar to the land high tension Wires… Think about distruptions in their natural navigational ability!!!
      What’s most disturbing is the European Wind Farms do not see any signifficant Whale Migrations (see: Nature is not a Whore!!!)
