Default Wind farms shut down

Be nice if it stays that way .

Almost all of the bases are set at empire wind .
Hope they now just remain as fish holding structures and are never used for anything else

From what I understand the Coast Guard had a problem with them.

I read that President Trump suspended work due to national security concerns. He also said that 1 natural gas pipeline would supply more power than all those projects combined.

They are showing up on the Navionics/Garmin Boating app charts.

You'll see here they're around 22 nautical miles off of Sandy Hook, just east of the Cholera Banks and the 3 Sisters Wreck and are in 90 feet of water.

It ALL matters. wish there wasn't so much division and the people took back the government and held ALL accountable. Tit for Tat is all anyone talks about and ignores the real issues at hand. Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves and regretting not putting in more restrictions on idiots running the democracy they fought so hard to bring forward.

Splitting hairs there a republic is a representative democracy with some barriers like the electoral vote etc. So yes the US is a republic founded on democracy in principle. Doesn't change anything from my original post.
