Looks cool as hell. Here in NJ a bunch of NIMBY pricks have been fighting offshore wind because it “ruins the view” which I find laughable. Seeing clean energy being produced makes me smile, who cares if there’s a windmill on the horizon.
Don’t get me wrong I’m 100% behind renewable energy but do you seriously not understand someone saying ‘hey I like this beautiful natural scene without machinery all over?’
My favorite memory in video gaming of a waterfront town? FFVIII and the* little water town in the middle of the fucking ocean with its turbines surrounding it. Ahead of its time, but super quaint and fun. People get fucking* defensive about change when they get older, and have enough money to speak with it.
Looking on Zillow, it looks like a beachfront house on Long Beach Island in New Jersey is ~$2.5-5 million.
Cross the street, go one house back from the beach – the differentiating factor between the two being whether there’s a view out over the ocean – and the price drops to maybe $1.5-2.5 million.
So you figure that people there basically bought a house plus a window with a fancy picture in it, and that picture cost maybe one to several million dollars.
I wouldn’t pay several million dollars for a fancy picture, but I imagine that if someone has done that, then they’re probably liable to get pissy if people go and fiddle with it.
If some dude paid a million dollars to control the ocean and the power supply of the region, then people are probably going to get pissy at the overwhelming, unearned privilege.

I kinda like it too, I don’t t see the appeal of not seeing anything on the horizon.

I quite like windmills, I’d love to have a view of some working.
