Licenced to Kill: Wind Industry’s Atlantic Whale Slaughter Gets New Govt. Greenlight
The wind industry’s licence to kill whales and other marine mammals is the perfect example of institutional corruption. As the cetacean carnage continues, one might think that the US government might pause (just for a moment) and consider revoking their ‘take permits’ - rather than simply continuing to green light the wind industry’s wholesale whale … Continue reading Licenced to Kill: Wind Industry’s Atlantic Whale Slaughter Gets New Govt.

Hostility Mounts: Offshore Wind Power Disaster Attracts Serious Onshore Opposition

Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects
The laws of economics don’t discriminate: where the costs of any venture outweigh its benefits, investors stay at home. Originally lured with the meme about wind power being free, and getting cheaper all the time, plenty of hopefuls poured cash into wind power outfits like NextEra, Avangrid and turbine manufacturers like Siemens. Lately, however, the … Continue reading Forever Cancelled: Escalating Costs Crippling Giant Offshore Wind Power Projects
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.

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
Offshore Killing Fields: Wind Industry ‘Saves Planet’ By Slaughtering Whales, Dolphins & More
The US government granted the wind industry a license to kill whales, porpoises and dolphins and it’s doing so at an astonishing rate. Dozens of whale carcasses have washed-up along the Atlantic coast in the last few months, joining dozens of porpoises and dolphins that met the same fate. More than 500,000 Americans have united … Continue reading Offshore Killing Fields: Wind Industry ‘Saves Planet’ By Slaughtering Whales, Dolphins & More
Offshore Wind Industry Provides New Tourism Opportunity: (Dead) Whale Watching

Eventually all the loose … Continue reading From Bad to Worse: Wind Industry’s Mounting Woes Down to Naturally Woeful Performance
Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
The collapse in Atlantic Right Whale numbers runs in parallel with the increase in the number of offshore wind turbines planted into their (once) natural environment: numbers declined from 480 to 340 whales between 2010 and 2022. But, rather than putting a halt to the imminent and complete destruction of a charismatic seaborne mammal, the … Continue reading Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Critically Endangered North Atlantic Right Whale
