The offshore wind industry in Germany has just admitted that the noise it generates during construction deafens dolphins and porpoises. That the ultra-high-decibel sonar emitted by wind industry survey vessels during wind farm construction deafens marine mammals is yet another inconvenient truth, which wind power outfits and their government enablers would rather keep a lid on. And they have had the benefit of pliant governments to help cover up the carnage.
The underwater cacophony created during offshore construction is laid out in Michael Shellenberger’s documentary Thrown To The Wind (see the video above) and this post: US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Slaughter
Another source of serious sonic torture for marine mammals is piledriving: the repetitive, percussive pounding of the columns that support the turbines (see above); the piles are 8m in diameter and over 100m long – 30-60m of which gets punched into the seabed.
Having maintained the lie that marine mammals simply love offshore wind, the fact that Germany’s offshore wind industry has come up with a cunning plan to (purportedly) dissipate the noise made during piledriving means its propagandists are having a hard time explaining the necessity of doing so, as the team from Jo Nova report below.
Building offshore wind farms can permanently deafen porpoises, but it’s OK now with Bubble Walls

Now they tell us
Wind farms save the world, and absolutely do not hurt dolphins or whales but did you know the industry has developed bubble curtains to protect porpoises hearing from the things that never harm them (isn’t that nice of them)? Bubble curtains are being “widely” used in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.
The BBC is happy to report it, now there are good results from a study, but apparently they weren’t too enthused in 2013 about telling us how pile-driving during construction can permanently destroy hearing in marine mammals. Indeed, ocean noise is such a problem the pile-driving teams use acoustic deterrents — loud noises designed to scare marine life away before they get started on the industrial noise. But even the “safety warning” may itself be dangerous.
So that’s alright then, windfarm construction used to kill porpoises, and the BBC kept that a secret, but now that we’ve solved it, it’s news we can use, right?
“Like a giant jacuzzi.”
How bubble curtains protect porpoises from wind farm noise
As huge offshore wind farms spread across Europe’s North and Baltic seas, efforts grow to buffer the impact on wildlife.
The original pile-driving in that study was actually done around 2009. If intrepid investigators from the BBC cared about marine life for real and investigated, they could possibly have reported it 14 years ago and before another 4,000 wind turbines were hammered into the sea floor. Do dolphins matter or don’t they?
It appears the BBC only mentioned underwater noise pollution once before in 2018, and the one reference to a windfarm was buried in a list of other industrial sources of noise. There were no headlines “Windfarm construction kills porpoises”. If coal miners used pile-drivers and were killing dolphins, the BBC would headline it and then repeat it until children at school were singing songs about it.
But those wind farmers are the nicest guys designing these jacuzzis just for porpoises:
It only took the BBC ten years to mention the Dähne study of 2013:
At close range, pile-driving noise can cause temporary hearing loss or even permanent deafness in harbour porpoises, leaving them disoriented and unable to survive. There can also be indirect damage. A 2013 study of pile-driving during the first offshore wind farm built in the German North Sea found that the noise prompted harbour porpoises to flee the area, swimming more than 20km (12 miles) away. Harbour porpoises need to eat and hunt almost constantly to meet their energy needs. Fleeing over long distances can disrupt that vital activity and make them vulnerable to starvation. Seals may be similarly affected.
Harbour Porpoises have been having a hard time in the Baltic Sea. At least one mammal experts suggests they are dying awfully young:
Siebert points out that while porpoises can generally live for more than 20 years, in the Baltic Sea the average life span for females is just under four years, and in the North Sea, just under six years. “The animals in our waters die far too early,” she says.
Where is Greenpeace when a porpoise needs them?

STOP THESE THINGS 
So now they will use real power to protect sea life from the pitiful output of the wind turbine (IWT) units. It will be interesting when Germany caves in to the need for real power and installs some real power plants to accommodate the failure of the IWTs. Meanwhile, all that garbage to deal with, all of the ecological and atmospheric pollution plus aluminum parts for the people instead of real tools.
Read the Bible, study it, very seriously, and you will understand.
The powers behind are members of a death cult, they hate too many humans on earth and they hate the ten commandments, and logically, thay hate GOD.
To understand the Bible, one has to dissect the lies against it, against the Bible.
This takes time.
Each thinker has to verify all arguments, unto his original source. This takes still more time.
GOD, the Christian ONE, has alone the best arguments.
It is not difficult to establish, the members of the death cult love to lie. They do not tell the truth.
Not telling the truth, is a heavy error (sin).
Evolution, enlightenment [hahahaah], corona/covid, climate change: all lies.
Et cetera.
Better and more serious: the members of the death cult want to be like gods [through the so called 4. industrial revolution]. Many of them know that the Christian GOD exists, yet they refuse to obey HIM.
It is all logic.
The facts in favour of GOD are not the problem. The interpretations are a real problem, for many human beings. They choose false assumptions, which are unprovable, until today. False assumptions are nothing less, than the most poor faith, one can choose.
A person like the diabolic Klaus Schwab appears only, when the masses have turned their back away from GOD. Klaus Schwab (WEF) is only the mirror.
The days of Klaus Schwab are settled: hell is awaiting him.
No plan of godless people will ever succeed.
Preach it! I was deaf to this due to my engineering background until my husband woke me up. That, a talk with God, the articles, a forensic engineer, friends and experience broke the spiritual wall. My next question – who is really benefitting from all of the prescriptions and hospital visits and death caused by these?
