D-Day vets: Wind turbines off Normandy beaches a ‘desecration’

would they rather wait 10,000 yrs & pump the oil from the rotted corpses?

The need for renewable energy is not lost on these veterans. They readily acknowledge the need to find and harness new forms of energy, but the beaches of Normandy, they say, should not be tampered with.

“Obviously the need for renewable energy is an important consideration in these times,” Tim Holbert, executive director of the American Veterans Center, told TheDC. “However, that need must be balanced against the need to preserve history that was made sacred by the sacrifices of thousands of Allied men on D-Day. We owe it to them to treat their legacy with the respect it deserves.”

Same folks that want the government out of their business and cuts to government programs as they go to the VA for medical care and cash that retirement/disability check every month.

Yes, it is a historic place. Yes, it should be respected, but really...7 miles off shore and they're worried about seeing it from the beaches? Make 'em look like B-17s or something and call it the new, improved Normandy, Now in 3D!!

i seem to recall 7 miles is widely recognized as the boundary of int'l waters anyway

unless they have amphibious rascals, why should they care?

 

[DaveW]

International waters yes.
But within the Frances Exclusive Economic Zone.

7 miles? Damn things will be nearly invisible at that distance!
Tell em it's either this or letting them foreigners (some of whom are muslims) have moar nukes!

They sacrificed themselves for the right to be angry and uptight.

 

[Inclag]

I didn't know the Kennedy's had a complex on that beach as well.

I lol'd.

So the windmills will make it more difficult to invade the next time?

Well, they didn't actually. If they had sacrificed themselves, they'd be dead and we wouldn't have to listen to this stupid fvcking bitching.

Only if we were intending to invade Holland.
