Patagonian cypress (Fitzroya): Pulling forth this email from 2009 regarding a Boston Globe article on windmill development which could impact Cuttyhunk, and having seen this related Globe article from today: "Biden administration grants Vineyard Wind its final major permit: A green light from the Biden administration to the country’s first large-scale offshore wind project paves the way for a wind farm to go up south of Martha’s Vineyard, which could generate enough power for at least 400,000 homes" * Am generally appreciative of green energy like wind especially, but NIMBY-ism - not-in-my-backyard-ism has been a very successful environmental conservation strategy in recent decades

Hi Deborah, and Cuttyhunkers, 

Hi Deborah, and Cuttyhunkers, 

Dear Deborah, and Cuttyhunkers, 

As a follow up - I am generally appreciative of green energy like wind especially, but NIMBY-ism - not-in-my-backyard-ism has been a very successful environmental conservation strategy in recent decades. Here are some maps in 3 new articles, beside the Globe article - https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/05/11/business/biden-administration-grants-vineyard-wind-its-final-major-permit/ - (readable in Tor browser): 

And here's a Fact Sheet - https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/03/29/fact-sheet-biden-administration-jumpstarts-offshore-wind-energy-projects-to-create-jobs/

A realistic virtual earth for oceans virtual reality simulation - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForOceans?src=hashtag_click - for alternative planning, and information arbitrage, think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth with TensorFlow AI, and as further idea generator? I wonder also if there's a way to contact Google itself somehow in these regards, since they have a big oceans' project, and maybe a relationship with Woods Hole Oceanographic Research Center - and even through its head of research and AI Peter Norvig, who went to Brown University in the 1970s. It seems like it's the little details that could be tweaked (eg distance from Cuttyhunk re noise, Cuttyhunk interoperability with this grid without significant costs, or could Cuttyhunk also some get wind energy or sell from its amazing solar panel farm to this emerging energy grid, apart from wind generation) at an early stage in the development, and make a big difference - possibly to the benefit of Cuttyhunk.  

So give three cheers for Cuttyhunk, 

Scott

PS

Here's a related conservation-oriented Cuttyhunk article I wrote in Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Charlie Nesson's online "Cyberone: Law in the Court of Public Opinion" class (which met online in the 3D virtual world of Second Life 15 years ago) ...

Here's Peter Norvig giving a UC Berkeley School of Information talk in 2016, which is inspiring, ethical and realistic:
