I guess whales’ lives don’t matter anymore to the left.
Stinking climate change freaks and their goofy ideas killing the planet, not saving it.
They are criminals.
This is PRICELESS.
There is one group of Greenie Weenies pushing wind power down our throats and a group of Greenie Weenies saying wind farms kill whales, AND yet another group of Greenie Weenies complaining about pollution from windmill waste in Sweetwater Tx.
Conclusion, GREENIE WEENIES are NEVER happy.
Alternate power is going to have consequences. Want to eliminate coal fired energy? Fine. But the cost will be people and animals dying. People from freezing to death and birds dying by flying into spinning turbines, for example.
Whales are dumb... Especially North Atlantic Right Whales... They called them ‘Right’ Whales because they were the easiest to hunt. They tend to swim towards you, rather than away from you.
It’s amazing that there are any North Atlantic Right Whales left.... Only a few hundred, or so. There are thousands of Right Whales left in other areas of the planet, but those areas aren’t used for fishing as much as the Atlantic is.
Very old and outlawed technique, but it works.
Whey would this be any different with the Wind turbines. We are talking about high current high voltage. Fish are susceptible injury by electricity.
but the Environmentalists have no trouble killing millions of trees
Each windmill has to be drilled 300 feet into the rockbed.
NC will need about 1200, IIRC, and once those die out, they are left standing. There is no recycling and they continue their killing, destruction of the environment and are outright eyesores. AND they require OIL or GAS to FUNCTION and to be built. They don’t tell you that, do they?
OR you can have ONE 1/2 mile station off the coast, visible to very few.
Exactly. The environmentalists want energy without consequences, which isn’t realistic. The left want to support their green investments, which aren’t green or even ‘greener’. The right wants cheap reliable energy which doesn’t rely on unstable foreign governments, and is diverse enough to withstand catastrophe.
If people were just told the truth, we could have civil discussions, and the media wasn’t so controlled, Americans could figure it out.
I was thinking about this the other day. Here in Washington state, the big fight is over noise from F-18’s training at Whidbey Island and the impact of that noise on the whales in Puget Sound.
So if their argument is that noise waves emitted hundreds of feet in the air is detrimental to whales, then why wouldn’t noise and vibration from offshore wind turbines do the the same?
I don’t by the jet noise argument, but direct noise and vibration that translates to the seafloor seems like a legitimate argument.
Just finished the book Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America: Eric Jay Dolin.
the first Pilgrims learned from the Wampanoag Indians to harvest and render blubber and balleen from dead whales, washed-up on beaches of Nantucket and Eastern Massachusetts.
They should revive a long-lost skill.
In 25 years, these same whale environmentalists are going to be arguing with their stupid climate-change karen environmentalist cousins - about who is going to pay to remove from their shoreline the ugly, disused, rusting hulks of dis-used, expensive, inefficient giant windmills that were built by government corruption and debt under the guise of “climate change.”
They’ll both agree - taxpayers need to do it.
At press time Moby Dick had not responded to requests for comment.
These things are huge monuments to liberal stupidity.
Wouldn’t that be a spotted owl hoot if windmills were the cause of the extinction of the right whales lol
The words “Blast” and “Whale” in the same sentence reminds me of the 1970 “Exploding Whale” Incident:

How are whales getting caught up in those blades?
