To the Editor:
Frank Smith’s Feedback letter (“Why Wind Turbines Can’t Go Farther Out,” 8/17) was very well written, demonstrating deep knowledge in engineering around the issues of power generation. I better understand the problem and high cost of moving the wind turbines farther east. I thank him for that. However, moving them farther west, closer to the shore, is not the solution.
Moving them west passes along the environmental and financial cost to the LBI taxpayers. This is a wealth transfer.
