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

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
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
US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
The US government has granted America’s offshore wind industry a sweeping licence to destroy thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals and more - while permanently trashing critical marine environments in the process. The damage done starts with seismic surveys carried out pre-construction and continues as hundreds of 240m high turbines are punched into the seabed … Continue reading US Government Grants Wind Industry Licence to Kill Thousands of Whales, Dolphins, Porpoises & Seals
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
Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
Wind power comes with a staggering price tag, taking these things out to sea sends those costs into orbit: intermittent offshore wind power is six times the cost of gas-fired power that's always available on demand. Placing giant industrial wind turbines miles offshore is costly enough, but the rising costs of attempting to maintain them … Continue reading Plain Stupid: The Only Thing Dumber Than Wind Power Is Offshore Wind Power
No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout
If the wind industry gets its way, it’s curtains for the already endangered Atlantic Right Whale. Taking giant industrial wind turbines offshore threatens whales of all shapes and sizes, including the Atlantic Right Whale. Whales already have plenty of offshore industrial activity to contend with. However, where oil and gas extraction, international shipping, and commercial … Continue reading No Fluke: Locals Fight Offshore Wind Power Project That Threatens Mass Whale Wipeout
Endangered Atlantic Right Whales Next Victims of Offshore Wind Power Push
The endangered Atlantic Right Whale appears to be the wind industry’s next victim; it already has plenty of offshore industrial activity to contend with. But oil and gas extraction, international shipping, and commercial fishing have obvious embodied economic benefits. Whereas, the only economic benefit derived from wind power is the subsidies it attracts. No subsidies. … Continue reading Endangered Atlantic Right Whales Next Victims of Offshore Wind Power Push
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
