Do you approve of Offshore Wind Energy along the Oregon coast? For all the treehuggin’ earthfirsters out there who answered “yes” to this poll, I’ve got one question: What happens when the wind stops blowing, and the windmill blades aren’t turning? Where’s your 6.2 gigawatts then? So if the fisheries and ocean habitat are disrupted or ruined after the wind farm is installed, the company has killed whales and stolen a livelihood from the area’s commercial fishermen for something that won’t even light up one bulb if the wind isn’t there? No wonder 64% of us answered “no” on the poll.
