As a rough guide, Martha’s Vineyard island off Cape Cod in Massachusetts is for millionaires. Its close neighbor, Nantucket, is for billionaires. They both feature many liberals.
Imagine how pissed off they were to discover their precious, exclusive beaches – good for a short season of about eight weeks – are being showered with sharp shards of fiberglass from a destroyed wind turbine? Now pieces of this windmill are scattered all over the ocean and beaches doing all sorts of damage. This is Democrat’s green energy scam at its finest. All that fuss to create alternate energy and now it’s literally biting you in the ass.
The fiberglass from just one blade in Nantucket is catastrophic

Imagine the damage to our coastline and impact to sea life if these off shore wind farms all failed

All of Nantucket’s south-facing beaches were finally reopened (today) Wednesday morning after an extensive debris recovery effort was conducted in response to an “offshore incident” that caused damage to a towering wind turbine over the weekend.

The Vineyard Wind turbine, nearly as tall as the Eiffel Tower, experienced blade damage on Saturday night, according to developers of the offshore project.
So far, crews have removed about 17 cubic yards of debris, enough to fill more than six truckloads, as well as several larger pieces that washed ashore, Vineyard Wind said in an update.
🚨 All of Nantucket’s south shore beaches have been CLOSED by the town due to the debris washing up from Vineyard Wind’s broken turbine.

Today
Vineyard Wind is just letting the turbine blade hang there. Once the material enters the sea, the pollution cannot be contained. It feels like it will go on forever. #ack4whales #mapoli #nantucket pic.twitter.com/tZ8y2g0XYN
