Ask the good citizens of Block Island what they were paying for electricity before and after the windfarms.

Exactly!
And how much would it really cost to run a cable from RI?

Interesting piece on the Block Island windfarm. I had no idea the whole island used to run on diesel generators prior, so it is kind of a unique situation.

Block had a large, land-based windmill back in the late 70s, early 80s...
NYT didn't mention that. They said that the diesel generators are still there in case of emergency, does diesel fuel not go bad like gasoline?

It will eventually, but it takes a decade or two.

It appears they ran one once the offshore windmills went up, to sell surplus back to the grid.
Also, to get power to the island when the wind wasn't blowing. 😎

I've never seen all those Windmills working at the same time.
As an aside, I also understand that they do not operate when winds are above 20knts which means they probably operate 2out of 7 days in winter!

Republicans try to weaken 50-year-old law protecting whales, seals and polar bears
One of the U.S.’s longest standing pieces of environmental legislation, credited with helping save rare whales from extinction, is the subject of an effort for cutbacks from Republican lawmakers who now feel they have the political will to do so.

So if the right whale disappeared, would the ecosystem suddenly collapse?
Are we protecting species that otherwise would not be seen or noticed by anyone?
Whales, seals and sharks have all been protected, have all propogated and thrown the ecosystem out of balance.
Sometimes a species disappears to make room for a more adaptive, stronger one.

I don't know that the sharks are doing that well, but the seals have certainly made out.
I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of environmentalists. When they want windmills to save the universe it's whales be damned. Then when we want to readjust the rules because we never get it quite right, suddenly the whales are important again.
