turbines suffer much greater stresses due to the density of the fluid.

Yeah. I didn't see that but there was a lot of coverage of turbines
recently installed in the East River in Manhattan, which is

Offshore is inherently better in many ways, mainly because the wind is

Darn right. The Gulf Stream is a neglected resource. It comes close to
the shore in several places, which I assume are shallow enough for the
kind of installations they use in oil drilling wells, if not offshore
It is not a black and white issue. it's cultural issue with subsets coupled
with a stupid war and freakish props to skew an obsolete economic model. Add
to that stew a nation's youth searching for the Camelot they were
promised after sliding thru college.

It is hard to tell what might happen based on local conditions.
However, a person who has huge crowds at his rallies and collects a
huge amount of money must have massive support. In addition. Obama is
using his organizing skills to make sure his people vote.
I suggest the basis on which

Ah ha. According to today's Atlanta Journal there are ~10 GW of
potential offshore wind in Georgia. See:

This is exactly what Obama has proposed to do in contrast to McCain
who wants to drill for oil and encourage nuclear power. I wonder why
the choice is not a no-brainer for so many people?

Just to clarify, Obama also supports nuclear power.

I'll second that.
Science is so much more civil and enjoyable than politics. At least I

You are exactly right Horace, we need to solve this problem as quickly
as possible. Drilling for oil or even building new reactors will take
many years, up to 10 years depending on who makes the estimate. In
contrast, putting up wind turbines is fast. The slow part is hooking
them to the
