Gonna stand by my statements here. The Nantucket lawsuit, by its mere location at a limousine liberal vacation haven, is most likely driven by NIMBY concerns. The California lawsuit merely seeks some extra safeguards for the birds, not to shut the wind farm down, and besides that, it's not an offshore wind farm.
I'm not saying that I have never heard any lefty eco-types bring up concerns about birds getting chopped up by wind turbines, but in general, there is near-universal support for wind farms on the left and most liberals are willing to see the greater good of the clean renewable energy even if a few birds are harmed.
