Letter: Fishing impacts from offshore wind pale in comparison to climate change

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 11, 2024

It strikes me as odd that there is such concern over the potential (but limited) impacts of offshore wind on the fishing industry in Maine, but little concern about the potential and much more widespread impacts of unmitigated climate change on the industry. Offshore wind may have an impact to be sure, but that impact would be very limited in scope and would be much less impactful than the climate change it could help to prevent. ~ Rowan Smith, Orono
