Suddenly they found a better technology that will reduce the number of windmills for the LIPA-contracted project to 12 from 15, but Rhode Island fishermen who were, offered a $12 million compensation package say the turbine reduction won't help. I thought they were going to help fishing? Are NY commercials getting paid?

Then they state:

,for those kept from fishing either by construction or placement of the turbines themselves.

I thought they were going to improve our fishing? In a statement, the companies said they will "move forward with the reduction of the project's total turbines from 15 to 12," while offering a compensation package for Rhode Island fishermen. The $12 million, if accepted, would cover lost earnings, among other things, for those kept from fishing either by construction or placement of the turbines themselves.

So commercial fishermen will be compensated for these windmills. Is that for all states involved? What about the charter and party boats? Are recreational anglers being compensated as they too deal with the construction phase? Which is sure to be a nightmare?

I guess everyone knows it's coming and they're just trying to get their piece.
