Hey NOAA... ☺ -- Major Kong 07/10/2017 9:17PM
They are building wind turbines 27 miles off the coast of VA Beach. The -- Hoakie82 07/10/2017 6:16PM
Kennedys blocked a wind farm of the coast of cape cod -- MEHOKIE 07/10/2017 8:58PM
Remember that... -- `lag 07/11/2017 10:15AM
Actually, you'd lose sight at 23.5 miles per my calc., BUT...I'd see them -- 48zip 07/11/2017 07:51AM
Proposal was for 6 miles offshore. -- MEHOKIE 07/11/2017 08:16AM
Sorry, I thought you meant the VB site.. And...towers are now taller. ** -- 48zip 07/11/2017 08:35AM
People casting lines near spinning impellers...what could go wrong. -- USN_Hokie 07/10/2017 8:15PM
Just not going to happen, blade tips will be 350 ft above the water. -- MEHOKIE 07/11/2017 10:48AM
I think they look cool but even if you don't like the look there's a big -- Hoakie82 07/10/2017 8:25PM
You are just wrong, sorry. -- USN_Hokie 07/10/2017 9:54PM
The fishing would be better at either place.It's the structure that matters -- 48zip 07/11/2017 07:31AM
I said 4-8 which was purely a guess that they would be far enough out to -- Hoakie82 07/10/2017 10:19PM
Wasn't there opposition from DOD? -- Newt 07/10/2017 8:01PM
Seems that would be easy to overcome; more of a consideration -- jmanatVT 07/11/2017 10:30AM
True dat. ** -- IB4TECH 07/10/2017 8:09PM
Kill birds and have a high cost to maintain -- HokieDan95 07/10/2017 7:50PM
But it's green! -- EDGEMAN 07/11/2017 09:29AM
People build them for the subsidies. -- YardBird 07/10/2017 8:00PM
So wind power isn't cost effective. Got it. Rolling my eyes. Lol** -- Hoakie82 07/11/2017 2:06PM
Edit this post. -- YardBird 07/11/2017 5:37PM
Sorry, for the typo. It's fixed now. ** -- Hoakie82 07/11/2017 8:21PM
When did that change ... -- VaTechie 07/10/2017 7:49PM
Looks like they have a foreign partner that will make it work -- 133743Hokie 07/11/2017 08:55AM
Does that belong to the Commonwealth? -- RoswellGAHokie 07/10/2017 7:43PM
I thought the international agreement is 3 miles ** -- TomTurkey 07/10/2017 8:03PM
It's 9 miles in Texas and the gulf coast of Florida -- TexasGobbler 07/10/2017 8:15PM
Well aren't they special? ** -- Hokie`79 07/10/2017 10:07PM
If the Chinese can build islands miles off the coast, then the original -- VaAkita 07/10/2017 7:53PM
Virginia has had man made islands for quite some time. I think 4 of them -- Hokie`79 07/10/2017 10:09PM
Did Virginia install a runway and surface to air missles too? ** -- EDGEMAN 07/11/2017 09:28AM
NIMBY-ism is a strong force, hurt nuclear power nationally -- Manbearpig 07/10/2017 7:14PM

I have special eyes. ** -- TexasGobbler 07/10/2017 7:08PM
So ... -- TomTurkey 07/10/2017 7:22PM
Okay...... -- TexasGobbler 07/10/2017 8:06PM
Perhaps it'd be easier on avian populations as well** -- astrohokie 07/10/2017 6:37PM
That's understandable but they should say that is why. ** -- Hoakie82 07/10/2017 6:57PM
That is NOT why.. That far out, they are not visible due to the curvature - -- HOKIERIT 07/10/2017 7:49PM
My point was for the Governor to say they were put out there solely for -- Hoakie82 07/10/2017 8:04PM

I know him a little and it doesn't surprise me one bit-> -- HOKIERIT 07/11/2017 09:01AM
Bout 7 mile as far as u can see on open water ** -- astrohokie 07/10/2017 7:57PM
You could see a turbine quite a bit further than that. -- USN_Hokie 07/10/2017 8:20PM
For 6 ft tall person a 300 ft tall tower is not visible at about 25 miles ** -- 133743Hokie 07/10/2017 10:36PM
Right. In the distance is further unless you're standing on the beach -- USN_Hokie 07/11/2017 5:14PM
There is a light tower 10 miles out that is pretty tall that you can't see. -- Hoakie82 07/10/2017 8:32PM
Chesapeake light? It's not that tall at all and you can... -- USN_Hokie 07/10/2017 9:50PM
