    Happy Birthday EJ. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I use the uni-trolls on my boat. Haven't had any problems. (knock on wood) suggest you don't trailer your boat with the weight attached. (I take mine off & wouldn't trailer any boat with any rigg'r with weight attached.) You might want to also look at swivel bases. I also run blacks right on the cable. Tom B. (LongLine)

    No formal mention of the turbines but the NYPA has contacted DEC about them. DEC has informed them of topics of concern such as effects on habitat, spawning grounds etc. There have been no Environmental Impact Studies filed as of yet. Tom B. (LongLine)

    It's truely amazing how powerful water can be. People complain about conditions in NY - snow, economy & whatever, but seeing these thing makes me grateful, as what we experience isn't anything like what other parts of the country/world have to endure. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Welcome Jeremy. Plenty of shore sites around here. Try the River mouth, (Summerville side warms up before the Charlotte side but you need a long handle net) Irondequoit outlet, Webster Park. Tom B. (LongLine)

    That’s true, however when he/she changes his mind and breaks or “rewords†his promises, I don’t get a chance to “re-vote†or change my vote. I also don’t get that opportunity when he appoints that “jerk†running the public authority or “chairman†who actually sets up the rules/codes or decides how much budget his dept could waste on which projects. I don’t get a say on which “feasibility†studies that these depts will spend millions on. Same thing New York State has been doing. Unfortunately it always falls on the little guy’s shoulders to pay for the damage that these guys have done, after the fact. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I must have amnesia - I don't remember getting a vote on NAFTA nor a voice on setting the pay levels or pension policies. In fact I don't remember being allowed into the room with the closed door where most of the state/Fed policies & purchases that I have to help pay for were decided upon. Tom B. (LongLine)

    I run a Sub-T. Blowback with 150Lb isn't bad. However the 210Lb has wicked blowback. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Unfortunately the "use less" notion doesn't help much as they raise prices in order to maintain their margins/profitability. Investors don't care about the number of gallons, kilowatts, seats or units sold. They only care about the $ brought in. Tom B. (LongLine)

    US gets the majority of it's petroleum from Canada. Only a few % from middle east. WTF? Media thinks we're as stupid as the gov't does? Libya was in North Africa last time I looked - NOT the Middle East. Unless they moved it in the last 40 years Tom B. (LongLine)

    Ditto Vince. The more guys that show up, the better for the fishery. I've attended for quite a few years and these DEC guys are very willing to talk to the fishermen. Charters & Rec's. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Jimski The Ontario gov't had a little over 1500 applications. 1300 were accepted. Of those accepted, only one was for off-shore. ALL applications have been halted. See sticky. Tom B. (LongLine)

    Let's see: 8 turbines rated at 1.25 MW each (but only generate 30% of rated wattage) and only 3/8 of them operating....hmmm...that's roughly 1.1 MW or only 10% of what the propaganda claimed. sad......that anyone bought into that wind energy scam. Tom B. (LongLine)

    F or S The Canadians had 1500+ Feed-in Applications. Of the 1300 accepted only one was for off-shore. What this does is stops all, as you say, until after the Oct/Nov elections. It shows that the liberals are indeed aware & fearful that off-shore freshwater is a politically hot item. The conservatives have been against them. It further kicks existing off-shore investors in the teeth that are going to see no payback on what they’ve already invested for an additional 8-9 months, (minimum) which is going to P them off and make money people much harder to attract. Additionally, this is going to make developers & promoters take a serious look at the freshwater ecosystem and overall affects. In the past, they put the onus on opponents to provide studies showing the detriment turbines would cause. Proponents have previously just drawn quasi-analogies to saltwater. It’s now on the other foot. Developers will have to do scientific studies BEFORE proceeding. (Aquatic wildlife, bathymetry, Hydraulogy, AofC's, recreation value, property value, endangered species, etc which are different than in the saltwater neighborhood) This will add a lot of cost & time to the off-shore projects, which again will stumble many investors. Hopefully, this ban that was announced, (overshadowed by the Egyptian headlines) coupled with the fact that the majority of US border counties have said NO, will show NYS, the USACE, the US Dept of Interior and Obama Administration just how foolhardy the industrialization of our National treasure with turbines would be. (politically, economically & socially) This is a major stepping stone but you are correct in that we cannot assume this is the end. We'll have to keep reminding them. Tom B. (LongLine)
