Its the future of America...It's a booming business on the East Coast
Their windmill farms are becoming like our oil industry in the GOM

Three northeastern US states this week signed up for a cumulative 1,200 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind power, and hinted at even more ambitious goals in the future. It’s been a long time coming.
The US east coast’s premier project, Cape Wind, finally died in 2017 after a decade of protests from residents who objected to obstructed views and risks to wildlife (including the Kennedy political dynasty and billionaire William Koch). The three commitments made this week take up the mantle from that failed project.
On May 23, Massachusetts’s awarded its first offshore-wind contract to Vineyard Wind for a 800 MW, 100-turbine farm to be built further offshore then previous projects were planned for, in order to avoid local opposition. It will fulfill the first half of a legal commitment, made in a 2016 energy law, by the state to purchase 1,600 megawatts of offshore wind.
Massachusetts’s neighbor Rhode Island followed suit, contracting its own 400 MW, 50-turbine project with Deepwater Wind, the company behind the 30-MW Block Island Wind Project, the US’s first offshore wind farm, completed in 2016. That will help Rhode Island reach its goal of increasing the state’s renewable-energy capacity 10-fold (to 1,000 MW) by 2020. Both wind farms will be built in the Wind Energy Area, 164,750 acres of federal waters between Block Island and Martha’s Vineyard designated for wind development.

Looks like a good spot to catch some mangroves.

Texas produces the most wind power. We aren't just all O&G.

I know a guy in Oklahoma who has 100 of those on his land, gets something like $1,000 a month for each one.
Quit his job and lives on mailbox money

Obstructed views to what? Their view of the bank accounts from the oil industry? Those poor, poor birds are also at risk.

I always find it interesting how the left wing will overlook the negatives of these things, like killing birds and how environmentally gawdy they are.

The smallest nuclear power plant in the US generates around 600 MW. The largest generates around 4,000 MW.
1 nuclear power plant = 500 wind turbines

Ted Kennedy hates this more than the perpetual pineapple up the arse torture he's experiencing in hell.

U.S. offshore wind power is expected to surge over the next decade—reaching 10,000 megawatts by 2030, compared to just 30 megawatts installed in the water today, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.

So 2.5 nuclear power plants?
ETA - That comes out to 1,250 wind turbines. Are they going to leave room in the ocean for ships?
