“Nonetheless, the presence and layout of large numbers of WTGs [wind turbines] could make it more difficult for SAR [search and rescue] aircraft to perform operations (of people or marine mammals), leading to less effective search patters or early abandonment of searches. This could result in otherwise avoidable loss of life due to maritime incidents.” page 3.17-8.

“The EWR screening analysis results show that wind turbines in the northern corner of the study area will be within line-of-sight of the Cape Cod AFS EWR at a blade-tip height of 808 feet AGL. At a blade-tip height of 1,067 feet AGL, wind turbines in the northern one-half of the study area will be within line-of-sight of this radar site. See Figure 5.

Research conducted by Westslope suggests that wind turbines in the study area within line-of-sight of the Cape Cod AFS EWR could have a significant impact on this early warning radar. [1]”

“Research conducted by Westslope suggests that wind turbines in the study area within line-of-sight of the Cape Cod AFS EWR could have a significant impact on this early warning radar. [1] As such, Westslope recommends early consultation with the DoD Siting Clearinghouse.”

The offshore wind energy project, SouthCoast Wind, will build up to five offshore substations to cool down and convert the high-voltage AC cables to high-voltage DC cables. They use an open loop system that will draw up 8-10 million gallons of cold ocean water from deep in the ocean and discharge it back containing chlorinated bleach and warmed to almost 90 degrees.

On page 3.9-83 of the Revolution Wind Environmental Impact Statement, the government admits that the Revolution Wind project will have major long-term adverse impacts on fishing.

According to the environmental impact assessments, offshore wind projects produce more harm than good. Green Oceans presents facts from these government documents and peer reviewed scientific articles on the benefits and costs, both environmental and economic, of offshore wind energy.
