In the meantime, developers like Scandia Wind and Havgul Clean Energy are adjusting their designs to meet the oppositions’ demands in an effort to circumvent regulatory changes. Originally, the companies planned to build 100 to 200 turbines in 100 square miles of Michigan-owned water , that came as close as 1.4 miles of the shore. They are delivering new plans, cutting the farm back to 50 square miles — with all turbines at least 4 miles away from the coast — to the governments in Mason and Oceana counties today. Say they build two turbines in each square mile 4 miles offshore.....how can that be a worse environmental nuisance than speedboats pulling skiers and kiteskiers up and down the coastline? Americans want to be energy independent but they don't want to be inconvenienced either. Quit the oil addiction but don't take away my car and let me go vroom vroom when I want to. Its like wanting Obama and Congress to get things done but only if its done in a bipartisan way.....otherwise its not any good. I think Americans need a serious wake up call. The universe wasn't designed for their exclusive happiness 24/7.
