I just signed it. Not because it's political. I am an animal lover have two cats and a dog, plus serve on the boards of directors for two non-profit animal rescue shelter. It's the right thing to do. No animal should have to lose their life this way. That photo is heartbreaking.
The rapid industrialization of the Atlantic Coastline will come as a shock to most people. The BOEM is rushing approvals of up to 25 wind farm projects on the East Coast that may include over 3,000 giant turbines occupying 2.3 million acres of Atlantic Ocean waters.
30+ offshore power substations will be built in the ocean.
9,000 miles of cable will be buried under the ocean floor and under beaches to reach the Grid.
Years of offshore drilling, explosives, and mechanical operations with dozens of ships as steel pilings are jack hammered into the seabed.
400+ 1,074 foot tall wind turbines located 9 miles and ending 25 miles off shore will be clearly visible from the beach during the day and at night as each will have 5 flashing red lights illuminated at night.
The developers have acknowledged that the wind turbines off the coast would become the dominant feature in the seascape. 400+ turbines at 1047 ft tall will be located 9 miles out and ending 25 miles off shore. Clearly visible from the beach during the day, and at night as they will have up to 5 red lights illuminated.
There will be huge economic and environmental impacts from this. People will be shocked.

Barry Myers never ran NOAA. When you make up stuff like this, everything else you write has zero credibility.
I guess you forgot about Trump trying to open up the East coast to off shore drilling.
"The Trump administration said Thursday it would allow new offshore oil and gas drilling in nearly all United States coastal waters, giving energy companies access to leases off California for the first time in decades and opening more than a billion acres in the Arctic and along the Eastern Seaboard." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/04/c...-drilling.html

9,000 miles of cable isn't much, sounds like a lot though. Google owns over 60,000 miles of cable. All told, there are more than 700,000 miles of submarine cables in use today.

There are thousands of platforms in the Gulf, and no evidence of any impact on whales and dolphins, except when there's an oil spill, which is much more likely than any accidents involving wind turbines. Installing those platforms involved hammering in piles, laying flow lines, drilling wells, and a bunch of other related activities.
Who cares if wind turbines are visible from the beach? On my list of annoying things, that's way down towards the bottom.
