Long Islanders should think about the $$$
There are already giant ugly power plants on Long Island, even in the pretty parts. They burn OIL. This is how the residents get their power, and forget about the environmental damage and peak oil concerns, it's bloody expensive! The oil arrives on a tanker that parks out in the Sound and hooks up to the pipeline going to the nearest power plant on the Island. That tanker ain't a very pretty sight, either. Now contrast that with a bunch of barely discernible dots on the horizon bringing in nice, clean, abundant and cheap wind power, and you've got a case that any cranky Long Islander can appreciate.
