Wind Turbines Posing a Problem in Maryland

please explain how wind turbines will "reduce wave height by 22%". Include ACTUAL scientific findings and articles. this will be due by end of class friday.

 

Shill. must be BrewTrollers new persona

 

They also deter wildlife from the area. The vibrations that they put off annoy birds and fish and stuff. Well, if the turbines are in the water.

 

Shove it. I have never been against wind power. I am actually very much for it and solar power technology development.

 

Got a link to a study? I have heard of birds getting killed, but annoying fish seems far out.

 

They will not deter fish from the area. Put structure in water and fish will swarm. As small fish move in bigger fish will follow and so on... Vibrations annoy birds??? Yeah ok.

 

Don't getcher panties in a bunch Brewhilda. I think you might be dripping clots. So take deep breaths and repeat, "I AM SOMEBODY!"
Can I get an HeyMan?

 

Maybe the spinning blades don't mesh well with bird heads?

 

I think Blind Birds will be the most effected.

 

I'm not saying it couldn't hurt a bird (not saying it would either). The comment was that "the vibrations annoy birds." As if the bird said "damn that effin vibration is annoying"

 

Yeah, it is obvious that birds can be killed by running into it. The same can be said about many structures (they like my sun room too). The vibration thing sounds made up.

 

Dear Mr Brewengineer,
I'm sorry for calling you a shill and it will NEVER happen again. You didn't have to rat me out to the authorities. It hurts my feeling that you didn't think you could tell me I actually hurt your feelings. I thought we had this "thing" going. A hardy rapport, if you will. It won't happen again. Again, I'm sorry.
Yours truly,

dudes solar is the way to go nor rigs or turbines off my coast. you can have turbines in the deep ocean but not near my shore. i will move away from my native break soon and i wish to return to it one day the way it was left..clean. we need to revert to the past not the future. we need to protect our seconds homes, i cherish them more then my own house of residence. we already struggle to get waves on this coast, we have enough to deal with. #savefollybeach #belmarbarrels #carolina cutbackz

 

Tesla! but then no one makes any money.

chich, your a lokal here and i respedt that,but dont mess with people from south carolina..or ones thats moves here? doesnt matter son dont mess with us down here. were all good peoples here and dont need the aggro. he aint going to report no one we got the bro code in this state idk about you. but were throwing hard cutbacks and 365s so dont kill our style.

 

They could place turbines right outside of Charleston harbor, and you likely wouldn't see any changes in waves at Folly or IOP. They supposedly help suppress hurricane winds as well.

 

Childish harassment gets old. Not that I don't appreciate your infatuation with me.

 

Feel free to keep up your shenanigans! It gives me a stiffy. no not in that way.

I love you!

yeah, in that way.

 

Off shore wind turbines can present several issues to the environment. Each specific locations is different and you should review several different engineering studies.
1. Turbine foundations can effect the sea bed
2. Submarine cables can generate significant heat load which may alter the environment
3. Turbines require emergency power to support auxiliary systems when the turbines go offline. The EPS is usually diesel gen-sets.

Effect on surfing
1. Turbines can act as a sea wall if built in close proximity thus reducing wind and waves.
2. Sea bed can be altered depending on foundations or cable layout which would effect swell and currents.

Do wind farms create enough clean energy that the above items are moot? Solar power is much more efficient and environmentally friendly.
