“The company that is fighting off accusations of whale killing”
I think this is the ultimate in Pearl Clutching for the liberals. Install windmills in offshore waters to supposedly create “green energy”. The problem being that they now realize not only do these windmills kill thousands/millions of birds. Now we realize they disrupt the navigation of whales. Mammals that are protected under federal laws just like Eagles.
Just imagine IF any petroleum producing infrastructure was doing the damage to protected species like windmills do. GE/Siemens/Vestas should be sued to the point that they can no longer do business in the USA.
A minor species like the Spotted Owl was used in the 1990s to stop logging on public lands in the Pacific NW USA. Yet, a windmill can kill a Whale and nothing happens.

Or windmills can kill millions of song birds, hawks, eagles and an uncounted millions of bats. If this wind-farm idiocy keeps up humans will have to eat insects as all of their natural enemies will have been killed off in the desperate need to go ‘green’.
PS The spotted owl debacle was followed by the Marbled Murrelet and used on commercial salmon fishermen to stop fishing and then spread to logging, on the environmental myth that Murrelets nested on old growth trees, when it actually makes it nest in ground burrows, per unpublished Canadians study.
Even to this day Wiki repeats the old growth falsehood.
Now they are coming for whales, porpoises and all other seafood.
