The article did not mention the magnetic fields associated with the wind power generators.

In a marine enviroment, the magnetic flux developed by the generators will penetrate the water surface and will prove harmful to various marine mammels relying on sound for navigation.

The magnetic flux is thought by some to be especially harmful to whales who rely on very low frequency sound that travels for hundreds of miles.

The project should be put on hold until detailed studies on the ecoimpact are completed.

Flux Capacitors will fix that.

I have read over the years a nbr. of articles which fault the US Navy for a plethora of problems caused by experiments with sonar which supposedly result in whales beaching themselves and other things.

Invariably the complainers are left wingers or fanatics of some sort or another. That does not make them wrong concerning the facts of Sonar effecting whales and other critters by the way.

So let me get this straight: some marine mammals can hear magnetic lines of force? Amazing!
