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

Start with the fact that these things can never deliver power as and when it’s needed, and you’ll begin to understand that the industry’s woeful performance sits at the heart of its current crop of mounting woes. 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
Offshore Wind Industry Gets Licence To Kill Right, Sperm & Humpback Whales With Impunity
Hundreds of whales are being killed by the offshore wind industry, and it’s been given a license to do so, with complete impunity. Let’s call it a ‘green light’ for industrial murder. Offshore outfits along the US Atlantic coast have clocked up something like 178 whale fatalities since construction began and their turbines first started … Continue reading Offshore Wind Industry Gets Licence To Kill Right, Sperm & Humpback Whales With Impunity
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’

Wind … Continue reading Not Green: Offshore Wind ‘Industry’ Destroying Fishing Grounds, Birds & Marine Life
Not Right: Offshore Wind Turbines Threaten Endangered Atlantic Right Whales
The environmental destruction wreaked by offshore wind power is one almighty whale of a problem. While all power generation systems take a toll on the environment, it’s only the wind industry that claims moral superiority over all others. That tenuous claim – which rests on the ‘we’re saving the planet’ mantra chanted by the wind … Continue reading Not Right: Offshore Wind Turbines Threaten Endangered Atlantic Right Whales
