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

Death by Numbers: Wind Industry Can’t Avoid Mounting Whale Carcass Count
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
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
Offshore Wind Farm Construction Noise Deafens Porpoises & Dolphins
https://youtu.be/km78wMHt9d8?si=bypmAKCZL3NpF9-n 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 … Continue reading Offshore Wind Farm Construction Noise Deafens Porpoises & Dolphins
Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
There’s no real argument in favour of offshore wind power, and plenty of serious arguments against. Start with the absolutely staggering cost, which has major proponents demanding even greater subsidies from taxpayers and/or higher prices in the guaranteed power contracts they ink with governments. With governments increasingly refusing to play ball, proponents are simply dropping … Continue reading Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition
US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Slaughter
The US government has been lying for years about the offshore wind industry’s pointless whale slaughter. It’s bad enough that it’s already provided the wind industry with a license to kill thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals - a ‘get out of jail free card’ - known as the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. But, worse … Continue reading US Govt Lying About Offshore Wind Industry’s Whale Slaughter
Fishermen Fight to End to Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Whale Slaughter
The wind industry's mindless slaughter of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals is completely legit, thanks to government-backed licenses known as the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. The principal cause of the carnage is the seismic geo-surveys conducted before the turbines get speared into the seabed. With their sonar systems duly scrambled by the underwater cacophony, the whales … Continue reading Fishermen Fight to End to Offshore Wind Industry’s Wholesale Whale Slaughter
Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
The offshore wind industry is wiping out thousands of marine mammals and fish are its next victims. While plenty has been written about whales, dolphins, porpoises and seals being deafened by wind turbine construction activities (they don’t respond well to sonar and seismic blasting), less notice has been given to fish, crabs and other critters … Continue reading Atlantic Fishery Under Threat: Offshore Wind Farm Substations Secret, Silent Killers
