Why would anyone oppose an offshore Wind Farm ?

Asked by Pretty_Lilly (4660points) April 29th, 2010

Environmentalist are all up in arms about the recently approved construction of an offshore Wind Farm, 13 miles from Nantucket Island.
{The tip of the highest blade of each turbine would reach 440 feet above the water.}
They plan on fighting construction,tooth and nail.
I understand environmentalists being against nuclear power plants and offshore drilling but why wind farms ?? Are they concerned there might be leakage and it might pollute the coast line ?
*So where do they propose,we get our energy,,,, out of their butts ??
