The Feds have admitted that offshore wind development can cause the death of whales and other marine mammals, but they refuse actually to assess that threat for any wind facilities. So I here outline what such a study should look like. This sort of study is what they are afraid to do because it would give numbers to the deaths that are likely to occur, species by species.
First off, here is the Feds’ own description of some of the known deadly threats. In this case, the offshore wind activity is driving the monster piles that support the turbine towers, but there are others. The Feds say this in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Empire Wind project off of New York and New Jersey:
“It is possible that pile driving could displace animals into areas with lower habitat quality or higher risk of vessel collision or fisheries interaction. Multiple construction activities within the same calendar year could potentially affect migration, foraging, calving, and individual fitness. The magnitude of impacts would depend upon the locations, duration, and timing of concurrent construction. Such impacts could be long term, of high intensity, and of high exposure level. Generally, the more frequently an individual’s normal behaviors are disrupted or the longer the duration of the disruption, the greater the potential for biologically significant consequences to individual fitness. The potential for biologically significant effects is expected to increase with the number of pile-driving events to which an individual is exposed.” more here
Just like the vaxxx, reality MUST conform to their brilliance. If reality does NOT, then sto all research, silence all references to reality, and call everyone who mentions reality a White Supremacist as you bankrupt them and throw them in jail.
No truth allowed.
The Party is always right.
They want us to get our power from these off shore wind farms. Once we do that, those wind farms will be declared a danger to the environment and we won’t be able to use them, either.
There is a wind farm about ten miles off off Brighton, England in the English Channel. They look terrible out there.
Here in Maine phony “science” is being used to blame lobstermen for killing whales. The so-called studies have been done by a California source and funded by big wind farm companies.
The electricity that is supposed to be generated by the windmills, which are 850 ft tall from the water, not from the ocean bed, is going to MA and Guv Mill of ME signed an agreement that if expected profits are not met our state of ME will make up the difference.
There’s money in it for the politicians as usual.
Here’s the truth as far as Maine goes anyway.

The only thing green about green energy, is the money in the politicians pockets.
RadioMattM – Talk about Planned Obsolescence!
They don’t give a shit about wind turbines killing eagles, why should they give a shit about killing whales?
these turbines might have something to do with the increased shark attacks
As long as the companies building the windmills keep paying off the politicians, the politicians don’t give a F. about the damned wales.
