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

Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
Half-a-million Americans are furious at the offshore wind industry for killing the last members of endangered whale species in droves with absolute impunity, thanks to the government-backed licenses that allow them to (quite lawfully) kill an unlimited number of whales, porpoises and dolphins – aka the ‘Incidental Harassment Authorization’. Hundreds of thousands of civic-minded folk are justifiably … Continue reading Whale Slaughter Sees 500,000 Americans Demand End to Offshore Wind Power Onslaught
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
Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment
‘Offshore’ means out of sight and out of mind, when it comes to the environmental destruction these things cause. No one sees the countless numbers of seabirds wiped out of existence by 60-70m blades with their outer tips doing over 350 km an hour. No one sees the destruction of undersea ecosystems, the seabed ripped … Continue reading Offshore Onslaught: Industrial Wind Turbines Are Destroying Our Precious Marine Environment
Bird Brained: Grand Offshore Wind Power Plans Threaten Endangered Species Wipeout
Planting 300 tonne whirling juggernauts out to sea has a variety of endangered species on a greasy path to extinction. One of them is the South-east Australia’s Orange-bellied Parrot - a timid and migratory species - at last count, its remaining numbers would struggle to fill a symphony orchestra. The North Atlantic Right Whale’s numbers … Continue reading Bird Brained: Grand Offshore Wind Power Plans Threaten Endangered Species Wipeout
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’
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
