Sounds like I get to drive around the open land in your state for hours and 3-40 minutes of driving is line of sight to a power installation. The wind farms will go up in NY, Boston etc but it will take a while because of the same NIMBYs. They do wield more NIMBY power because they can raise more money. Income inequality is the system working as designed, we won't nationalize any part of our power industry because the benefit would go to workers and ratepayers.
- dogman144 4y agoNot sure on what you mean by the first part? But if you’re saying they’re pretty out of way except for 30-40 mins of a long drive, that’s not really the case unfortunately although I could see how that’s your impression. Installs or planned installs are common across the state so getting hard to avoid. Important caveat perhaps is I’ve lived in the coastal centers for long stretches. Def aware of the financial and power imbalance, but they’re making a mistake by flexing it or dismissing it this way. As the all of these natural resource and climate concerns heat up, the state out here have some important leverage - breadbasket, minerals, headwaters of the 2-3 major US rivers, and so on. I’m interested to see how it all plays out, but I disagree that the schedule of change will be dictated by he NIMBYs.
