Wind turbine blade shattering closes beaches in Nantucket, NC beaches at risk | Eastern North Carolina Now
Democrats pushing offshore wind are a theat to NC beaches as well
One blade of a wind turbine 15 miles off the coast of Nantucket has partially shattered, leading to beach closures on Nantucket. Swimming is prohibited due to floating debris including sharp fiberglass shards. Some of these shards have washed up onto the beach, leadng officials to demand anyone even walking on the beach should wear shoes to avoid being cut. How these dangerous shards will be removed from the sand has not been determined.
There are hundreds more of these turbines in the wind farms there, and an event that damages many of them could be even more catastrophic for the island's tourism eonomy. Federal authoriies have shut down that wind farm.

The Democrats, Biden and Cooper, have been promoting wind turbine development off of NC's coast that could easily result in similar disasters for our beaches.

A complete disaster. What did they do, pick up the pieces? Sounds way worse than a major oil spill.

Big pieces of the shattered turbine can be picked up if they float or wash up on the beach. If they sink close to shore, they will be found when somebody steps on them and cuts themselves severely. Small pieces, which can also do a lot of damage to beachgoers, are extremely difficult to find.
Now imagine a hurricane comes along and shatters a bunch of these things. Finding all the pieces, big and small, is going to be next to impossible. This things need to be banned from our shoreline, or the required insurance needs to be in the stratosphere and cover and direct or indirect damage, including losses of tourism related businesses.
