Raised fist.
There is one name in core and that is Sid Abbruzzi. The Package has done it all from creating Rhode Island’s surf culture through his shop Water Bros to fighting the man to protecting the coast and ensuring access for all.
When Sid speaks, it is well worth a listen and now he is lending his voice to the growing protest against a proposed offshore wind farm.
Monied interests are planning to erect 1000 turbines, each 850 feet tall, some 12.9 nautical miles off Rhode Island’s gorgeous surf-rich coast. These will be both the largest turbines ever built and the greatest concentration anywhere on earth.
The field will be built on Coxes Ledge, a geological formation that supports a variety of marine life including whales and delicious cod. Not only will construction damage the area but hundreds of miles of underground cables will also be installed sending sediment plumes into critical breeding grounds. Long dormant toxic lead deposits and heavy metals will also be dredged right back into the system.
While wind is generally seen as clean, these turbines are made from dirty Chinese steel and, also, the blades cannot be recycled ending up in ugly blade cemeteries.
Etc.
There is much naughtiness about the plan though the surf core is getting behind a legal effort to stop it all.

sorry I mentioned it to ya jeff, jethro~
Putting wind turbines out in the ocean is just plain stupid on several levels. Follow the money. I need a hamsammish.
Anyone heard from Troll lately…
been wondering the same.
He quit BG.
When are all the povo min wage cunts gunna stop driving their cars?
So fuken selfish
Get a Tsla and a life losers!!!
Many people don’t realize how much Ambrosia had progressive rock roots
and leanings. Most people only know them for their soft-rock hits, such
as “You’re the Only Woman” and “How Much I Feel.” I saw them on the
“Cruise to the Edge,” and they were amazing. They still sound great,
even though David Pack is no longer with them.

this has been my favorite surf photo since I first saw it when I was an 8 yr old little FL grom. For a kid who surfed the treasure coast up to Sebastian/Spanish House, was hard to believe anything this perfect existed.
this post has disappeared…over?
everybody in socal wants to know what you’re wearing at Cheif’s Stadium…
Raising one’s fist, and lowering it, repeatedly, whilst grasping a male organ (especially one’s own if so equipped) is a a good way to get the blood aflame.
Some doubtlessly find that revolting.
watch Gervais’ Armageddon netspunk special? he pulls off the ‘ol heave&ho so he can get a pet…
I have an environmental solution, what if we could harvest all the hot air blown out of the asses of the professional and semi-professional community. Surely we could power the whole world, or at the very least BG could be carbon neutral.
skateboards, then boards, then boats…I blame balsa~

Charge the fuckers commercial land rents and watch them relocate their wind farms on-shore alongside the National Grids – where they should be.
There’s a resource consent application for one of these out in the Taranaki Bight where another pack of cuntards wants to conduct mineral extraction by eco-friendly dredging (lmfao). Fucken ridiculous …
Do you think they are actually so fucking naive and ignorant of the issues that (a) they do not understand the urgency to reduce emissions and (b) they do not know that all the anti-wind farm propaganda can be traced back to fossil fuel funding. Or they are just selfish fuck heads with no regard for anything beyond their own self-interest?
I’m not anti wind farm, just not at sea. Which should have been obvious. But maybe not…
Would you condone effectively gifting a chunk of nzs territorial sea to a private corp? No matter how noble their intentions …
What happens if it’s a fuck up ? I know and you better be prepared to pay if this gets the green light, which I doubt.
I made wind blades, think of a way filthier giant version of a surfboard, so fucken crook, remember this, these cunts don’t make green energy out of the kindness of their hearts.
Xox
And they don’t pay E.B.A. rates. They are scum.
What is the best energy answer? Oil, Wind, Solar, Hydro, Nuk? I’m no energyologist but wind seems the least viable due to the turbines being problematic, expensive, and made out of Chinese metal. Plus birds probably hate em.
I got a mate who works on a wind farm, he reckons the blades are made out of fibreglass, like the way they make yacht hulls. They are hollow inside and then they do maintenance they lock them so that one is out horizontal and they have to walk inside it. said a big tool locker fell loose from the middle part one time and ended up falling inside the blade while it was moving and smashed everything to bits.
That’s because you know so little that….yep, it’s dangerous. Oh look I have an opinion about an issue of which I am totally fucking ignorant…. but hey it’s never stopped me before.
You must be an energyfist in real life. Thanks for the input. Real bummer your eyes are broken so you can’t see past my ignorance to answer my question. Sorry about that. And don’t ever let that stop you from being totally ignorant about anything.

Speaking of monied interests destroying the ocean and coasts:

It’s all the dumbshits in places like Texas that are going to suffer when the temps keep going up.
The fog here is our savior from the madness.
True!!
People burn fuel slower when driving in fog.
Great insight!!
