Green Energy Failure: Nantucket's south-facing beaches are closed as a result...during the height of tourist season.

Progressives along the East Coast seem unmoved by the possibility that the “environmentally friendly” wind farms springing up along the coast are potentially the reasons for whales dying in the region.

Several beaches were closed on Tuesday while crews worked to clean up “large floating debris and fiberglass shards” from the broken wind turbine blade off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. A total of six south shore Nantucket beaches were closed to swimming due to debris that washed ashore. Wind Turbine Blade Fail Scatters “Fiberglass Shards”. You can walk on the beaches, however we strongly recommend you wear footwear due to sharp, fiberglass shards and debris on the beaches.

Although the damage threw debris into the water, the blade was not completely severed and most of it remains attached to the turbine, Gilvarg said. A photo published by the Nantucket Current showed one blade hanging directly downward, parallel to the tower.
