They did an artists rendering of the Cape Wind project which was basically not
visible from the Cape. The windmills would be something like an inch tall on
the horizon but the rich folks had already poisoned the minds of the weak
willed and the project was scrapped.We're seeing wind power become a real thing
here in the interior of the state though, 3x 1.5MW turbines within 10 miles of
my house in the last 10 years. No massive bird murderings like are predicted by
the nay-sayers and no work about people getting sick from the shadows. I've
been and sat under them and about all you can hear is the woosh of the blades,
not any louder than regular wind noise though.

Speaking of wind machines - They were proposed off Martha's Vineyard,
but T Kennedy thought they would spoil the view and he managed to block
them. Don't know if his efforts managed to keep them away after his death.
I think we are building them off the coast of Va - but that's thanks to
some very far left democrats being elected Gov. The large populations
around DC and Norfolk overwhelm the vote of central Va and rural Va.
Seems like wind machines have a few unintended circumstances tied to them.
