The relationship between offshore wind turbine construction noise and marine mammal fatalities is now incontrovertible: Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise The underwater cacophony created during offshore construction is laid out in Michael Shellenberger’s documentary Thrown To The Wind (see the video below) and this post: US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind … Continue reading Acoustic Rape: Why Wind Turbine Construction Noise Kills Whales

Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts
Wind power is utterly pointless because it can’t be delivered on demand, which means there’s absolutely no justification for the offshore industry’s rampant whale slaughter. Anyone with a shred of empathy for charismatic marine mammals is entitled to consider what’s being done in the name of ‘saving the planet’ utterly criminal. And rightly so. The … Continue reading Utterly Pointless Slaughter: Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Carcass Count Mounts
Orsted’s Financial Collapse Spells Armageddon For US Offshore Wind Industry
When the most heavily subsidised industry on earth can’t make it pay, you know the economics must really stink. Denmark’s Ørsted share price plummeted 25% late last year, and after slashing dividends to shareholders was forced to write $billions off the projected value of its US offshore projects, and its share price is still heading south. Exhibiting … Continue reading Orsted’s Financial Collapse Spells Armageddon For US Offshore Wind Industry
Shipwrecked: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Being Crushed By Rising Construction Costs
2023 was the year when the offshore wind industry’s grand implosion began. Major investors bailed out as the insane cost of attempting to (occasionally) generate electricity with no commercial value in hostile marine environments began to bite. Dozens of projects have been scrapped and others are now highly doubtful. And for those wind power outfits … Continue reading Shipwrecked: America’s Offshore Wind Industry Being Crushed By Rising Construction Costs
Grand Enviro-Scandal: Wind Industry Delivers (Dead) Whale Watching Tourism Bonanza
Thanks to the offshore wind industry, it's never been easier to get up close and personal with rare and endangered whales. Never before has the general public been able to walk along the shoreline and find their favourite beach routinely littered with a steady stream of cetacean carcasses. Call it ‘eco-tourism’, with a twist. Some … Continue reading Grand Enviro-Scandal: Wind Industry Delivers (Dead) Whale Watching Tourism Bonanza
Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
Want to make a small fortune in the offshore wind industry? Then start with a large one. In the absence of endless subsidies and guaranteed, fixed-price contracts (set at ludicrously high prices), the purported economic case for wind power never, ever stacks up. And the numbers are far worse out at sea. Take a machine … Continue reading Not For Profit: Offshore Wind Power Projects Wiped Out By Rising Costs
Whale-Sized Revolt: Fishermen Slam Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Disaster
The wind industry is determined to destroy the marine environment along the Atlantic coast; its fishermen are even more determined to stop them. As whale carcasses mount up along the coastline, those who depend on the sea for their livelihoods have turned on the offshore wind industry and its government enablers, with a vengeance. As … Continue reading Whale-Sized Revolt: Fishermen Slam Biden’s Offshore Wind Power Disaster
Radar Off-line: How Offshore Wind Turbines Have Wrecked America’s Defence Capability
Giant industrial wind turbines with the tips of their 50-80m blades clocking 350 kph play havoc with radar systems, giving false images and distorting real ones. The result is unnecessary danger for pilots dependent upon accurate weather reports, and air-traffic guidance, both essential for safe takeoffs and landings. In a number of States, the US military … Continue reading Radar Off-line: How Offshore Wind Turbines Have Wrecked America’s Defence Capability
400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales
America’s offshore wind industry has an almighty whale of a problem. Sensible folk are no longer enamoured of an industry that is killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins … Continue reading 400,000 Americans Join Effort to Kill Offshore Wind Industry & Save Endangered Whales
No Upside: Wind Developers Pull Plug On Massive Offshore Projects Deemed ‘Uneconomic’
Some of America’s biggest planned offshore wind projects have recently been axed, with more to follow. Deemed ‘uneconomic’, potential investors and financiers are running a mile from what portend to be enormous white elephants. Where the true cost of onshore wind power is phenomenal, the cost of the offshore stuff is astronomical. Going offshore brings … Continue reading No Upside: Wind Developers Pull Plug On Massive Offshore Projects Deemed ‘Uneconomic’
