It's not very windy in the South. Also, where are the offshore turbines mentioned?

    did they get greenlight for deploying those? I remember a lot of local karens opposing it because of birds or something

      Yes they did. It was a huge deal in RI. This farm powers Block Island and the excess goes to mainland RI. Previously BI was on Diesel fuel for power so there was a big motivation to get it done. The full environmental impacts are not clear yet though, as there are consequences for fishing (a large industry in this region), especially with lobster and squid who are affected by the emf of the high voltage cables.
