Default Re: Not TOO happy about this

Dakota and Dan make some valid points and I share some of the same concerns. I do however need get more informed before forming my own opinion.

What I've "heard" so far that is concerning:
- The company behind this is a foreign company
- Other areas where the wind mills are located, power cost actually went up
- There are some that believe the power lines on the ocean floor will disrupt fishing
- These structures could obviously pose issues with navigation
- Could fishing be restricted around them? Not sure but a slippery slope if they decided to make them MPAs in the future.

Many of the political power brokers in the state like Murphy and Booker are already for it so don't look for any help from them, the NJDEP or any appointed people representing our state fisheries management. Point here is if you want to oppose this, the fight is likely going to take place in DC not in NJ.

As I learn more I will post here...
