The offshore wind industry is taking a pounding for its pointless slaughter of whales, dolphins and more. And rightly so. While the US Federal government has provided wind power outfits with a license to kill, the general public are not so forgiving. And they’re growing hostility represent a whale-sized political problem for offshore wind. Once … Continue reading Death by Numbers: Wind Industry Can’t Avoid Mounting Whale Carcass Count

Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
These days the dark satanic mills are scorched wind turbines with their disintegrating blades flapping aimlessly in the breeze. Industrialising the countryside, destroying productive farming communities and wrecking the natural environment is all part and parcel of the great wind and solar ‘transition’. Then there’s the fact that these things are lucky to deliver power … Continue reading Dismal Failure: Wind Industry Delivers Dark-Ages (Occasional) Power Generation
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
Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise
Try as they might, the offshore wind industry can’t conceal the fact that their construction operations are killing hundreds of whales, dolphins, seals and much, much more. 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 … Continue reading Wind Industry’s Wanton Whale Slaughter Caused by Constant Deafening Construction Noise
Offshore Wind Industry Targets Australian Coastline For Wholesale Whale Slaughter
The ultra-high-decibel sonar emitted by wind industry survey vessels during wind farm construction deafens marine mammals, so does 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. The offshore wind industry … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Targets Australian Coastline For Wholesale Whale Slaughter
