Seems like the people "tilting at windmills" have a point; the "Green" movement can do a lot of damage. Excerpt:

The collapse of a giant wind turbine blade off the Massachusetts coast confirmed Peter Kaizer’s worst fears about the dangers a new clean energy business could pose to fishermen like him.
Jagged pieces of fiberglass and other materials from the shattered blade drifted with the tide, forcing officials to close beaches on Nantucket and leaving Mr. Kaizer worried about the threat the fragments might pose to his vessel and other fishing boats, especially at night when the debris would be harder to avoid.
“All these small boats could be subject to damage,” Mr. Kaizer said. “Everyone wants this green legacy, but at the cost of what?”
The blade, which was more than 300 feet long, failed in July, but the repercussions are still unfolding at the $4 billion project that it came from — Vineyard Wind 1. Developers had hoped to finish the project this summer, making it the first large-scale wind farm completed in U.S. waters, but now that goal will take a lot longer than expected.

Now, the New York Times is no "denier" rag; quite the contrary. It seems like the spears thrown by "deniers" who "tilt at windows" were not being quixotic at all; frankly the have been right. In this manic race to meet a 2035 deadline of being "carbon neutral" we are destroying much of what nature has to offer. What a pity.

Or is this beside the point? See Warming Alarmists Again Give Away Their Real Objective (link). Maybe, just maybe, the "activists" want the alternative sources of energy to be unworkable. They can't openly say they want to restrict lifestyles; that news has to be broken slowly.

The "climate goals" are the peasants living in mid-19th century conditions, while those "acting in our best interests" live like royalty.

It's no more complicated or involved than that.

You believe the failure of a single blade could imperil the nation's climate goals?

You believe the failure of a single blade could imperil the nation's climate goals?

Yes, by endangering financing and insurability of these projects.

Yes, by endangering financing and insurability of these projects.

Do you have anything indicating that financing and insurance are pulling out?
