If you missed the recent ‘Grok coverage on offshore wind, you can catch up here. Wind Power is not any of the things they say and mostly things they will not, and a plan to put turbines off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire is moving ahead despite the long list of negatives.
An informative session on the topic is coming up, and we wanted to let readers know so they could share that or plan to attend.
We have some great speakers who will provide research and information about offshore wind and its effects on marine life, fishing, the environment, and its questionable effectiveness and sustainability as a green, renewable energy source. This event has been put together in response to a pro-wind informational session previously planned to take place in Rye last month, which was canceled when the organization learned some people opposing the project would be in attendance.
Would love to see you there!
