It’s a story that environmental groups would ordinarily be all over: a greedy energy-producer has an accident, and a beach is strewn with debris. The habitat is spoiled. The company’s local operations are shut down.
But they’re not — and it’s because it’s not an oil spill. It’s debris from a broken wind turbine that washed up on the south shore of Nantucket in Massachusetts.
Now, the water is closed to swimmer and the offshore wind farm it came from is being shut down by the feds “until further notice.”
Where’s Greenpeace when you really need them?
According to the Nantucket Current, the debris from the turbine blade began washing up on the shore on July 16, days after it had apparently suffered damage.
