troll-feeding, senile idiot, blabbered again:

Kennedy has a dog in the fight but that doesn't mean his economic
observations aren't true.

There were economic concerns when the Block Island project was proposed
but the Rhode Island government rewrote the book in its favor. National
Grid screwed the pooch when burying the cable and the redo will not be
cheap. The question is if they can pass the cost onto the ratepayers.
Seabrook Station in New Hampshire was the end of Public Service of New
Hampshire. There were many protests but the killer was CWIP.
(Construction Works In Progress). The state court ruled that you can't
jack utility rates to finance something you're building and hasn't come
online.
Vineyard Wind will have 84 Haliade-X turbines that are 853 feet high
with 350' long blades.

Of course they'll be lit up like a Christmas tree at night. They'll be a
unique navigational aid. Years ago I sailed up the coast of Maine past
the Cutler VLF station. You definitely knew where you were when you saw
the antenna array. No hiding that puppy. You could also hear the
generator a couple of miles offshore.

Note that Vinyard Wind is not Cape Wind, the one that was opposed by Fat
Teddy, Mittens Romney, Kerry, and the Kochs. That one petered out when
National Grid and Northeast Energy canceled their contracts when the
project didn't meet the milestones.
We'll see how this one goes and how much government subsidization is
needed to keep this one alive.
That was a lot of off topic senile **** you posted there again, eh, senile
blabbermouth?
