Offshore oil rigs are certainly not good for the environment, and are eyesores of the highest order... However, ask a few gulf fishermen if they would like them removed..
Ask the government if vessels will even be allowed to be next to the wind turbines to fish.... so yeah, once they are in and start pulling fish off our current structure (even if thats what happens) thatll mean less fish to target cause they wont even let you near them.
