  1. MarineTraffic has lighthouses and big rocks as well as ships and boats, but I can't find the flock of wind turbines I saw from Clare last month - they should be off the coast of Galway, I think
    Oh, wait, no, they're onshore, so they wouldn't be recorded.

  6. New Bladeless Wind Turbine Generates Clean, Quiet, Bird Safe Power

    Vortex Bladeless Across the world, wind power is growing fast but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years. Standard turbines, with their giant spinning blades, are helping, but they face challenges: high costs, loud operation, complex maintenance, and their unfortunate impact on birds……Continue reading….

  7. Over the weekend, The Sunday Times published a story about #Asbestos in #WindTurbines which has generated considerable heat online. This is not a new issue: it first surfaced in Australia in late 2025, where multiple wind farms confirmed chrysotile in brake pads from Chinese manufacturer 3S Industry, and has been actively investigated ever since. The UK discovery almost certainly results from that ongoing global audit. The story is new; the problem, and the industry response, are not. 1/8

  8. Switching off wind turbines cost Britain €1.6bn this year. Here’s why.

    Wind is now one of the world’s biggest electricity sources and wind power has surged across Europe, sparking concern that billions are being wasted due to “insufficient” grid investment.

  9. They should build wind turbines all over Mar-a-Lago. The bag of wind who lives there could generate enough electricity to power the entire east coast.

  10. Good! Build it on #MackPoint, not #SearsIsland! Feds reject Maine’s request for $456 million to build proposed wind port at Sears Island

    "Rolf Olsen, vice president of the board of #FriendsOfSearsIsland, which manages a portion of the island set aside for #conservation, and an opponent of the Sears Island proposed site, said the federal decision 'would appear to be a significant financial blow' to develop the manufacturing facility.

    "'We’re somewhat encouraged that the state’s port development grant application was turned down, especially since it only considered developing Sears Island and not Mack Point,' he said.

  11. #SearsIsland: The Answer to Green Energy, Or Home to #Biodiverse #Wildlife?

    "The #Wabanaki people indigenous to the area named Sears Island #Wassumkeag, or Shining Beach. The tribes used the island to hunt and fish for centuries.

    "McCarthy said, 'They've been documented archeologically to have had a presence here for at least thirty-five hundred years.... There's a bio-regional perspective that considers all the relations: the #insects, the #grasses, the #trees, the #eelgrass, the #birds, the critters that roam these woods — if you really want to speak for Sears Island, it's incumbent, not just for poets and photographers and old hippies, it's incumbent for all of us to be mindful of all that is happening here.'

    "McCarthy said he gets why the island is an attractive place for development. 'We're in a time where wind energy is important,' he said. 'We need to find green sources of power, but the narrowness of that human perspective needs to be challenged.'

    "Both McCarthy and Lawless join the group #FriendsOfSearsIsland in maintaining that #MackPoint is better situated for development.

    "Even though 600 acres of the island are protected by a conservation easement, industrial disruption to the peaceful island could lead to #environmental impacts that may not be fully realized until after development, according to McCarthy."

  12. Just like when the #Maine public voted AGAINST the #CMPCorridor through the #NorthWoods!

    Public feedback process for decision on #OffshoreWind port a charade, #environmentalists claim

    State officials are accused of long favoring #SearsIsland, the largest undeveloped island in #PenobscotBay, as the future site of the port.

    PORTLAND, Maine — "Environmentalists are decrying a year-long process meant to gather public feedback on where to build a #deepwater offshore wind port, calling it a 'charade.'

    "They say state officials failed to adequately engage the public or #tribal communities and effectively decided where to construct the port long before the process began.

    "The Maine Department of Transportation [#MDOT]has been making an internal case for Sears Island while 'giving an illusion of an impartial analysis of port possibilities to the public,' said #MattCannon, the state conservation and energy director for #SierraClubMaine, in comments at the final meeting of the Offshore Wind Port Advisory Group.

    "'Some,' he said, 'see it as a breach of public trust.'

    "State officials have said they’re considering several locations for the 100-acre port, including #Eastport, #MackPoint and Sears Island, and don’t expect to choose a final location until next year. The officials insist they have not made a final decision.

    "But participants in the process, which began in May 2022, say the state has long advocated for Sears Island, the largest #undeveloped island in Penobscot Bay.

    "They believe officials have not seriously considered other options for the port, which would be the staging area for equipment needed to build and maintain #Windturbines in federal waters in the #GulfOfMaine.

    "Those suspicions hardened after documents released via a public records request submitted by #IslesboroIslandsTrust earlier this year revealed internal discussions seeming to indicate an official preference for the island. #FriendsOfSearsIsland manages the #trails on the conserved portion of the island.

    "The documents included a '#Stakeholder Management Plan' written by state-hired consultant Kay Rand. The document said the goals were, in part, to 'develop and execute a stakeholder outreach strategy that would enable #GovernorJanetMills to … announce a commitment to pursue development of Sears Island as the #RenewableEnergy Port of the Northeast.'

    "The document is dated Sept. 8, 2021 — eight months before the stakeholder group held its first meeting — and mentions pursuing Sears Island as the port at least four times."
