Not a sailor. I was a ground pounder.

I am sure some of your points have merit, but I am not sure this was Cat's issue. I gathered his point dealt with a foreign country establishing a significant industrial enterprise in the USA.

I am sure there are some negative impacts to wind farms as you mentioned, but there is a significant negative about coal fired plants particularly here in Alabama. As a result of burning coal, Alabama has one of the highest levels of mercury in the US. There most likely are negatives to any and every source of power generation, but I don't think any of us are willing to suffer the alternative.
