Some would point out that thephoto includes no windmills, and that would be correct.
However the structures in the photo represent the junk the “All of the Above” crowd is ready to clutter our oceans with.
You can put lipstick on a sow.

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
