    The water in this particular spot is 20 feet deep. If you go 12 miles offshore from Cape Cod, it's around 80 feet deep in most places. You can build wind turbines in deep water, but it's much more difficult and expensive.

    nah, not much more at all, oil rigs go much deeper, the tech to anchor stuff 80ft is very simple to say, i dunno, an oil rig........

    Consumers don't get a fucking choice of carriers in most of the USA.

    I hear this all the time. How come there is so little choice in the US? Is there some legal reason that stops a company opening shop and selling bandwidth?

    to some degree its because its a huge, mostly sparsely populated land mass. IME there's many choices in metropolitan areas that are densely populated, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grays_Harbor_County,_Washington] link to wiki where i am there are so little people theres not much incentive or something

    For me, its more about letting people live their own lives how than want. We all die, I believe its your choice in how you get to that destination, not mine. If you want to smoke, thats your business. What right do you have to tell someone else who ISN'T BOTHERING YOU how to live their life?

    i think the argument is that by warming up the planet and making life worse for their offspring you are bothering them and your actions should be curtailed until they cease depriving others of a healthy planet.

    wow, your /. id has way less numbers than mine and i understood the post. You seems angry. Have you tried cannabis? I hear it helps with that bulging neck vein problem your terse response indicates you have. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should next time before you respond, as it may take the edge off and allow you to post without seeming like an emotional moron. Otherwise stick to whatever job you do that requires zero emotional control because you are clearly not very good at it.
