How far off the coast are they supposed to be anyway? How visible could they actually be?

Closest is about 15 miles at Atlantic City and about 15.5 from Ocean City, with varying distances otherwise.

The pylons are tall — like 835 feet — so you’ll be able to see them for sure, but they’ll be pretty small on the horizon (and virtually invisible from about 25 miles and farther, since that’s over the horizon).

Odd that they complain that the windmills will spoil their ocean view. I guess they'd rather look at tankers spewing exhaust instead.

I routinely look at the NYC skyline from 15 miles away and those buildings are fucking TINY. What are wind turbines (if you could even see them!) going to look like at that distance?

It's a moot point. Doesn't matter what you tell them, these morons will run around parroting whatever Fox News told them to be upset about
