I'm not sure what Shellenberger's angle is here. He strikes me as a guy who sincerely believes in what he is saying, and not a guy who is just jumping the whale (snark/shark!) here. But I could be misreading him. It is useful to verify most sources nowadays, especially when someone does not have a background, either education and/or experience, in a cause they are opining about.
If you care about the poor then why don't you move to their neighborhood and spread the wealth? Why do your kids go to a different school? Sounds like racism.
Do you just like to post dumb, wrong stuff to get a reaction? NJ has numerous programs (and requirements) for low income housing and is one of the most diverse states in the country. Yes, there are some rough spots in our inner cities, but there are also countless towns that have achieved high diversity scores because they work at it, as they know diversity is actually a plus for any town. I happen to live in a town like that and love the variety of people and cultures in that town.
Agree on construction noise being temporary, but some of these critics have been saying that the operating noise from the windmills will impact mammalian life, which is extremely unlikely, as we've discussed before. Good points on right whales/activity and RU involvement - a number of RU marine science folks have also been involved in putting together the mammalian impact/risk assessment documents.
Yes, but any impingement is really the core issue for many of these folks, IMO, since until about this year, most of the complaints were about wrecking the view - just look at the headlines from the articles below. The BOEM put together graphics showing what 900 foot high windmills will look like 15-20 miles offshore, as per the graphic below. The horror. But my favorite part is that the pic below shows the sullied view from Stone Harbor, so I'm guessing T will be protesting this in Trenton shortly.
Diversity destroyed the cities and the public schools.
Yeah? What’s your solution? Skip the intermediate steps and just give us your final solution.
Glad you are happy about the whales dying of boat strikes instead.....Go windmills!!
So pretty....Yes, but any impingement is really the core issue for many of these folks, IMO, since until about this year, most of the complaints were about wrecking the view - just look at the headlines from the articles below.

Who said I was happy about that? In fact I said I've been disappointed there hasn't been a hue and cry about commercial shipping/fishing.
I'd like to think that the guy meant DEI.. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and not simply "diversity". Most urban neighborhoods have little "diversity". And what is killing the public schools are the teachers' unions using marxist/socialist tactics. Its not about teaching necessary subjects.. it is about increasing payroll count and pay and gaining/maintaining political power to keep the ball rolling. And the poor teachers who really want to teach.. they have to deal with crap. If the better teachers all haven't left the profession they may pretty soon.. like the police.
I have trouble believing you typed those last 2 sentences without detecting their overwhelming irony when measured up to current events.
So when someone points out a racist statement, that makes them antifa? Even you aren't that stupid, Bac.
Wow. I'm in awe of your genius. You just increased the number of homeless by orders of magnitude. Great work!
C'mon.. yeah.. as worded is sounded racist and certainly, we have seen some real racist remarks on this board.. iirc, Waretown was one such poster that I instantly recall doing so. So if I saw that handle post the comment to which you replied I would be 100% behind you identifying it as racist.
You're making nuanced points which is a perfectly fine thing to do and is not racist in any way. I've never said otherwise. Like you, I can talk about sensitive topics because I'm careful to be nuanced about what I write (that is, if I'm posting seriously).
