Using wave/currents to produce energy is not the same as a fucking tsunami. People care about those deaths, but only really fucking stupid people think wave energy https://www.boem.gov/Ocean-Wav... and tsunami are the same thing.

Are you simply trying to distract from the conversation by bringing up other disasters? Bhopal had nothing to do with energy production, via wave, solar, wind, or nuclear. Maybe we could bring up the 2004 tsunami in SE Asia too? I mean, it at least has the word "wave" involved in it.... and if you're really fucking stupid, you might conflate that with the production of energy via wave/current... but you'd have to be really fucking stupid to do that...again...

Are you intentionally trying to be obtuse, or simply too fucking stupid to understand the question. A tsunami created by an earthquake doesn't equal electrical power generation using waves/ocean currents... it's a random fucking act of nature. Jesus, you people need to start using that mass of grey matter in your head for something other than keeping your ears apart.

If people are interested, the specifics of the project area (including environmental reviews) are listed on the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management webpage. Commercial Wind Leasing Offshore Rhode Island and Massachusetts They also have a handy NOAA nautical chart overlaid with the areas where the turbines can be located showing shipping lanes and fun stuff like known unexploded ordinance/torpedoes NOAA Chart pdf. NY governor "approval" doesn't get them much of anything except securing financial agreements. They will still need to get special permits from Department of Interior/BOEM (National Environmental Policy Act, Army Corps of Engineers underwater construction permits, EPA (air permit), and NY state Public Service Commission (electric transmission cable) to actually start constructing. Not to mention actually carry out surveys to determine suitable placement locations of the wind turbine trunks.

how can the President pass an executive action that could not be reversed by another executive action ?

TFA explains that Obama is using the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Presidents from both parties have used the Act in the past.

Trump can't just take office and reverse it. In fact, it's not clear just how he could, because there is no legal precedent. The Act contains no prevision for reversals, so presumably Trump would have to go to court. And that could take years to play out.

Oh bullshit!
the law says,

The President of the United States may, from time to time, withdraw from disposition any of the unleased lands of the outer Continental Shelf. section 1341, OUTER CONTINENTAL SHELF LANDS

"The President of the United States may, from time to time" means at his pleasure. Trump can release the withdraw on day 1.
for example;
The President of the United States may, from December 20, 2016 to January 21, 2017, withdraw from disposition any of the unleased lands of the outer Continental Shelf.
