Why aren't there any wind farms or tidal plants in New England?We Answered:
The opposition against the windfarm off of Cape Cod is just hypocritical obstructionism by some of the (otherwise proclaiming their greenness) wealthy there but be advised that most Bay State citizens are strongly in favor of the project as are all the major newspapers.Meanwhile there are indeed a few wind farms in New England, such as
one in southern Vermont and a tiny one on the coast at Hull, MA (expansion being applied for) and more proposed. The difference vis a vis Texas is that in Texas your windfarms are located in vast open Panhandle ranches and farms and open plains with small populations and little tourist industry. So there has been little or no opposition. But almost everywhere in New England appropriate for turbines is in a tourist area or otherwise in populated areas with enough people knee-jerking that they feel turbines to be eyesores that they become effective, although minority, oppositions.
As far as tidal the major proposal at Passamaquoddy has had the problems of being located at the international border and its construction would require changing a sea lane navigated by oil tankers
(Irving Oil Company's major refineries are located neaby) to one more treacherous. There has been no proposal for some of the more exotic
technologies because they have not been tried anywhere in the world and the cost is too high and to too much of a risk for private enterprise.
There has been no proposal as far as I know to dam the Cape Cod Canal where tidal differences are constant enough to more or less continuous power production.
The proposal for a tidal plant in New York City's East River has been kaboshesd, by the way.
New England benefits from being near Quebec, with its vast, clean, hydro-power production so there is no real sense yet of crunch. (In fact, Quebec is not only expanding its hydro output but also building windfarms. Export of low production cost electric power to the USA at market prices is a huge contributor to the Quebec treasury; American consumere therefore help to pay for Quebecker Canadians' free health care and other social benefits.)

Environmentalist and Everyone Else Would This Compromise work for US Energy Independence???We Answered:
excellent question, & well presented.there are no technical barriers to prevent us from supplying ALLof our energy needs from within our own borders.
the only barriers have been political & economic.
as others have mentioned we can make oil from coal & we have been making high test aviation gasoline from natural gas for 70 years now.
we also have huge reserves of oil shale & heavy oil that has to be extracted with steam or solvent.
as long as oil was under $60 per barrel it was easier to buy it from other countrys than to make the large long term investments necessary to develop these more expensive resources.
oil is now above $130 per barrel. it is sure to continue rising & we can expect our supply to be interupted by some events in the next 10 to 20 years & more wars to be fought over it.
as our economy & way of life are now totaly dependent on oil, I believe the obstructionists that have been blocking the development of these un utilized resources(including nuclear power) for the past 30 years will be ignored & pushed aside because of necessity.
even so we are going to have some tough times ahead for the next 10 years or so untill we can start getting meaningful production from the new sources.
