I was there,at the hurricane barrier,there was a boat named Rolldock Sky, that went through the barrier at around 8:50 Wednesday morning,with what looked like turbine blades on it. While it was quite impressive visually, I worry about the commercial fishermen and their families,who depend on the ocean for their livelihood, and all the animals of the ocean as well,from massive whales,sharks, dolphins,all the way down to squid,butterfish, etc. What's going to happen to them? 😔
@@EmmanuelVAZQUEZ-wr6zc you are delusional if you think installing electrical components in the ocean will not affect animals that use sonar and echolocation to communicate and hunt.
Fishermen kill more dolphins and sharks and other species in their nets than turbines ever will. (and they don't care) They decimate populations by overfishing because they can't stuff enough into their pockets. They pollute oceans while out to sea where nobody is watching, their boats pollute the harbors with stinking. leaking petroleums. And they b!tch about environmental laws meant to curtail such activities. But they suddenly beat the environmental drum if anybody else dares have business in the oceans. In short they think they own the seas. It's quite gratifying watching them learn otherwise.
Terrible. I sail out of narragansett, and lived on the vineyard ten years..these things will only make a damn mess. Theres sooooo many hydro opportunities in new england. .
Yes of course the entire wildlife are killed by these energy producing monsters.. ☠️ Sure you're living off grid without polluting anything.. How much poison are your lifestyle responsible for? Hypocrite
in 20 years what is the future for these blades as there is only one place on this planet to recycle them AND it can't handle blades that big. SO IS IT GREEN TECH??
20 years is almost certainly enough time to develop new recycling technologies. And we don’t have 20 years to make big progress on reducing added CO2 emissions.
There’s already good research that painting the blades with stripes, or even a consistent dark color greatly reduces bird deaths. I can’t understand why companies keep producing white blades. When the sky is lightly overcast, the blades ‘disappear’ into the sky glare.
@@pinehawk9600 money certainly accounts for why existing wind turbines haven’t been painted, but this video was for a brand new delivery. Paint is cheap. Or, instead of incorporating the minerals that make the blades white, switch to darker minerals. That might require some testing to make sure there’s no adverse effects on durability, but would likely be less expensive than the current white.
@@hans-petervanaerschot2596 I have visited many wind farms. The maintenance and infrastructure alone uses fossil fuel power. When on land they ruin the land polluting nearby waterways by disturbing virgin ground and causing erosion. Road must be built to access them. How do those get built. I believe in saving the planet, however in a country the size of the U. S. they are a waste of time and resources. My educated opinion!!!
To make the steel required for wind turbines that might operate by 2030, you'd need fossil fuels equivalent to more than 600 million metric tons of coal. A 5-MW turbine has three roughly 60-meter-long airfoils, each weighing about 15 metric tons.Feb 29, 2016
@samdeejr2000 well they aren't going to stop making steel. So steal for something that can generate electricity, is a very good reason for that steel.
We must find a way to slow carbon emissions from oil, gas & coal, tho i wonder how the vibrations these turbines generate will affect the ocean's creatures that live in the area surrounding these turbines? when the disruption caused by their installation has subsided, hopefully sea life will proliferate, again👍

Nuclear power please.
Beautiful video!
Makes me nauseous. The industrialization of our ocean is not the way

What u worried about the boat or the hurricane barrier?
@@JAlves88 neither, I'm worried about commercial fishermen and their families,and the marine animals that will inevitably suffer from it
Suffer from what? They are built specifically out of the way

As a fisherman in the sound, I don't think the wonderful beauty should be for sale. Mess indeed
How do you dispose of the blades at the end of the service life? Are they recycled?
It's actually long known, and proven that at least 95%of a wind turbine are recyclable!
Try study for yourself...
I have a wind generator behind my property inland.Took a walk back there 2 months ago. The ground was littered with dozens of dead bird caucuses.
Yes of course the entire wildlife are killed by these energy producing monsters.. ☠️
Sure you're living off grid without polluting anything.. How much poison are your lifestyle responsible for? Hypocrite
FANTASTIC 😮😮😮❤!!!
All that effort, resources, etc etc etc....for one blade...that can't be recycled.
Absolutely idiotic.

Vestas have found a way to reuse the epoxy in the blades. So stop bragging.
Also, saws

These wind farms are disgraceful.
That's very ugly.
Well, coal mining ain't too pretty either. And you won't develop black lung from a wind turbine. 😄
So sad
How many seabirds will these fan blades kill in one average day?😮

Impressive. This is our future energy source.
Stupid
There is NOTHING GREEN about wind turbines!! Just the fuel to move and set them is ridiculous A DISGRACE
They are green within 1 year, educate yourself

Ridiculous they passed this. Literally nobody's rates will be going down guaranteed.
They burnt tons of coal and diesel to make this monstrosity
