OPINION: I'm a fishing boat captain. Green energy companies, government want to put me out of business

BIDEN ADMIN FACES BLOWBACK OVER WIND FARM CONSTRUCTION THREATENING MARINE LIFE: ‘PUT WHALES OVER WOKE!’

Consider the mechanics of fishing. Commercial fishermen land fish by running nets through the water column off the back of our boats. When foreign green energy companies sink wind turbines into the ocean floor, they permanently close those areas to our nets. We call it obstruction bottom – there’s no way we could run our nets through or around them. On Maine’s coast alone, some ten million acres have been designated for offshore wind development.

The remaining fishermen will be forced to stay close to the coast, competing bitterly in a few bays and estuaries. Those very waters are spawning grounds for many specifies of fish. Restricting the fleet to those areas will jeopardize the same species regulators claim to protect. indicates that HVDC cables that run inland from offshore windfarms generate magnetic fields that disrupt the swimming patterns of infant fish, such as haddock.

No fisherman I know is against alternative sources of energy. But the green transition should not be accomplished by the wholesale destruction ofand the communities that depend on it. After all, we are the consumers wind energy companies purport to serve. We are the citizens our government purports to protect. Yet few if any of our elected officials are advocating for us.

How is this news when some nobody fisherman makes a claim.

If you read this 'news' artical it seems like the rantings of a mad man. He seems to be under the impression that wind turbines will take up every bit of space off the cost and not allow fishing anywhere. This is clearly not the case.

There's a climatic upheaval headed our way and like a tidal wave at a distance out at sea, its only seemingly unforeboding. Until, its right up to the shoreline and then it's too late! The climate waits for no man!
