Local Resident in Shock as TotalEnergies Offshore Wind Lawsuit Exposes 'Common Sense' Failures in Our Backyard
Another day, another corporate mess that we taxpayers will have to clean up. Just read the latest on this TotalEnergies offshore wind lawsuit—apparently, the company is fighting over permits for a wind farm that would have blocked our fishing spots and ruined our view of the coast. Where's the common sense in building these giant turbines right where families have been boating for generations? The lawsuit claims environmental reviews were rushed, and I'm not surprised. I've seen the traffic and noise from those surveys. Can't they put these wind farms somewhere else, like out in the ocean where nobody sees them? Meanwhile, wildlife is getting tangled, and our property values are tanking. But hey, let's keep handing out taxpayer money to foreign corporations while our own fishing industry suffers. Call me old-fashioned, but I want proof these turbines work before we destroy our coastline.
