The turbines off block island power next to nothing. Ask a block island local like I did while I was there 3 years ago. They still burn mostly fossil fuels for energy. The turbines generate next to nothing, and that's when they're actually working.

Do they draw fish? Yes. An artificial reef would've done the same without the eye sore of those ridiculous turbines.

This is the 2nd time it's been halted. I hope it stays that way.
