Wind Turbine plant

Good Morning
Today I am going to share a few shots of the Vineyard Wind turbine construction site here in New Bedford taken from various angles and at different times over the last year or so.
Often on walks I see this site and get photos and seldom share them, especially on Farcebook, as the tend to lead to heated discussions.
And one thing I do find quite amusing is, people on both ends of opinions about Wind Turbines and the pros and cons, often share articles that they clearly have no read fully, as the headign may seem to lean towards their line of thought but rerading the full article may say the opposite to what they want to hear, many online new sites like to use headlines to draw clicks and clearly it seems to me that it works well

I wont get into my opinion on the pros or cons, will just share some photos of them and some info

In May 2021, the Departments of the Interior and Commerce announced the approval of the construction and operation of the first large-scale, offshore wind project in the United States, located offshore Massachusetts. The 800-megawatt Vineyard Wind 1 Offshore Wind Energy Project will be located approximately 12 nautical miles offshore Martha's Vineyard and 12 nautical miles offshore Nantucket in the northern portion of Vineyard Wind’s lease area

The power started flowing late on Tuesday. For now, the Vineyard Wind project, located off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard,Massachusetts, can send only five megawatts of power to the grid from a single towering wind turbine. But the companies behind the project, Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, plan to install a total of 62 turbines with 800 megawatts of capacity, or roughly enough electricity to power 400,000 homes, by the end of this year
