I didnt claim to be a commercial fisherman. And dont get righteous to me about what your family does or doesn't do. I am aware of what commerical fisherman fish for. I also am familiar with the fact that lobster are generally caught in pots, which is why I referenced the fact that I dive and dont like pots. If you have ever been diving in the NE (which you may have) you'd know that in areas where lobster pots are prevelant, the ocean floor is littered with ones that have lost their rope and buoy. In them, you'll see lots of lobsters, spider crabs and other things waiting around to die. That's why i dont particularly like them.

But, if you are a commercial fisherman, or related to one, you must know that your claim that anything but the brightest lights are visible through fog is false. If you lived in Hyannis, and 150, or 500, lights were shining into your window every day, would you have a bone to pick?

JK is a resident of Nantucket. So am I. Nantucketers have the LEAST to worry about from Cape Wind. We are 20 miles from the Cape, beyond visual range because of the curve of the earth.

The fact of the matter is that the windfarm will not have active lighting of the type you are discussing. Rather, the masts will have reflecters for radar and light. They will be a navigation hazard.
