The high wind issue is not a big deal as long as the control system is working to thread the blades properly.

The freighter concern isnt really an issue, as only an idiot would place these things anywhere near a shipping lane.
Hmmmm. They want to put these off Cape Cod which is a very busy shipping area all things considered. A big storm plus a ship in trouble... shit happens. Just waiting for the first time it does.
Much harder to service isolated out to sea in a place with strong currents, frequent storms and rough weather... which is where you get the most wind generation. For instance, why would you wan to put tidal power in the bay of Fundy? a 70 foot tide! Windmills go where the wind is highest, makes the sea a good choice in this factor. BUT, they have to be shut down when the wind is too strong which very well may be frequently out there.
Glad you see that.
WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG. Fucking WRONG
They need to be SHELVED as policy and pushed back to the lab till they ARE viable. Period. You go to what works best, and that is Coal. That is Nuclear. That is Hydro. You don't play fuck around fuck around pretending that these bad forms of energy production are worthy of support till they PROVE it. And once they become viable, the market will fund them till the day something better comes along.
Remember: Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger, Cheaper, Cleaner.... That is the nature of improvement and economic efficiency and smart policy. You don't waste money on something that doesn't match this philosophy, unless you have economic suicide as your goal.
All power sources have downsides
Yes, they do. But most are overstated by the econazis to push bad solutions and global fascism on an imaginary crisis. This eliminates the argument that their clean energies are substantially better, when they can't carry the freight.
ranging from finite sources of fuel to high maintenance requirements, to polluting off gasses.
Finite sources. The only ones who 'see the end' of petroleum are those who have a vested interest in it's stoppage. High maintenance is often caused by stupid government regulations and NIMBY bullshit. Polluting gasses, If you include CO2 with that, you're mad. Global warming, or whatever they're trying to rebrand it as today, is not a threat. It is not caused by man. Pretty much every past attempt to do so has ended in their science being debunked by basic logic and cursory investigations of their methods as being fraudulent.
The need for this crap snaps like the dead dry twig it is.
Wind Mills are dead, their own studies state they do not work, sure they say "many factors such as cost, output, reliability are unknown, either way, your talking about stuff that dont matter, the government states it just does not know, I bet every study in favor of Green power states the same thing, no idea if a profit can be made or if the power will be produced
