Wind farm debate split environmentalists
Excerpt:
"Long Island's half-decade tango with offshore wind power tested the definition of the term environmentalist, pitting fervent advocates for green power against potential supporters who wanted stronger assurances about the project's potential impact on birds, bats and fish.
After the controversial project was terminated last week, the wind farm's strongest advocates seemed divided on whether the $800 million price tag should have been the deciding factor given the global warming crisis. Meanwhile, those who always questioned whether the proper studies would ever be done to know the project's environmental impacts pointed to divisions in the community that question the claim the wind-farm was done in by a horde of NIMBYs."
