I think the writers of the recent wind port editorial in the BDN have clearly misunderstood the scope of this development. It is not a “port” where ships quietly come and go, but a 100-acre industrial facility where the turbines will be fabricated before they are shipped. The potential nonstop road usage, 24/7 noise, traffic, lighting and habitat destruction are incompatible with the conservation mission of the island’s other half. A responsible editorial board would recognize the incompleteness of their research, critically reexamine both sides and issue a correction. ~ Bill Carpenter, Stockton Springs
