A great start, a certain reduction in greenhouse gasses emissions.
Economically sound, profitable, less intrustion than oil rigs.
This viable project that would be the kind of answer we need to slow global warming, the biggest threat to our way of life, is thrown out for reasons that are not valid.
The suspicious reason behind the rejection is the threat to Big Oil's complete domination of our energy use profile.
The reason given:
"The amendment, offered by Representative Don Young, Republican of Alaska, would prohibit new offshore wind facilities within 1.5 nautical miles of a shipping lane or a ferry route."
- is that windmills too close to shipping lanes would be a problem, despite Britain's experience of using 500 meters as the buffer distance required for safety.
So its pure FLUFF.
Facing the reality of global warming should be easy for an Alasakan, whose constituency could be flooded by rising tides , and whose weather is allready seeing the biggest changes of anywhere in the world. [an Alaskan Senator submitted the amendment.]
Obviously, he is there, as a USA Senator from Alaska, on the basis of Big Oil putting him there. And the reasons for continuing to reject these solutions to global warming is evidence of the larger conspiracy to heat up the planet, or whatever it is they are trying to accomplish!! [domination of the world]
