Let it be known that the skeptics are, and always have been, the environment’s best friend. The Greens, sadly are the wilderness wrecking, naive minions of the Establishment Powers who will sacrifice whales in a quest to impress their industrial banker overlords. They tell themselves they are saving whales 100 years from now with the same windmills that kill the whales today.
Our good friends at Heartland and CFACT are working to stop the insanity in a guerilla campaign.

Conservative watchdogs highlight ‘alarming’ surge in whale deaths as wind farms grow off NY, NJ coasts
Josh Christenson, NY Post
“It’s gone from ‘Save the Whales’ to ‘Kill the Whales.’ And the green groups that have promoted Earth Day for 53 years are totally okay with this agenda.”
Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow president Craig Rucker said the push to build the wind farms comes “despite growing evidence that whales are being impacted by the preliminary sonar blasting being conducted to site windmills, as well as scores of the marine mammals washing up dead on beaches.”
Steve Milloy, a senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute who sits on Heartland’s board of directors, told The Post that the ad campaign reveals how “Orwellian” government action on the environment has become.
“As the Biden administration is literally permitting the offshore wind industry to kill endangered whales under the guise of ‘saving the planet,’ Earth Day has gone 180 degrees from where it started and has become truly Orwellian,” Milloy said.
Fossil fuels can save whales in more ways than one…
David Wojick has added up the full tally of requests for permission of industrial windmills to harm or kill Right Whales “accidentally” and it adds up to twice the total known population:…
NOAA proposes hammering 208% of vanishing Right Whales
David Wojick
David Wojick, CFACT
Okay it is a trick headline because they can only hammer 100% of the severely endangered North Atlantic Right Whale population. The point is that NOAA is proposing, for offshore wind development, to authorize a horrific 706 cases of physical harassment of Right Whales, whose dwindling population is down to just 340 magnificent critters.
The average whale will get hammered roughly twice. The Right Whales migrate along the coast twice a year. Migration requires repeatedly running a gauntlet of dangerous offshore wind projects. Most likely some whales will be hit many times.
At this rate there won’t be many Right Whales left for the Greens to save in 2123AD.

I was looking for the adjective best suiting green zealots and “uncaring” fits. I debated them for years on another forum but NEVER got the point across that the best possible gift for Sub-Saharan African people was CHEAP electricity. They are selfish, only caring that THEIR world is at risk. I never convinced any that a population explosion in Africa puts them at risk.

It should be clear to even the slowest among us that the only thing that matters to the progressive left is political power and control (along with the wealth that comes with it). Everyone and everything that stands in the way of that goal is expendable, even things they pretend to care deeply about. Whales, wilderness, women’s rights, free speech – all easily discarded for the cause.
281
They only pretend to care about those things when they’re not in control.
When they are in control, any pretence about caring is discarded, as you say.
The Left (at least the leadership supported by an army of useful idiots) is completely about control and censorship and not caring about anything but themselves, their power, their control and their ill-gotten personal wealth from “green” energy scams etc..

In Australia the proposed “Star of the South” off-shore wind subsidy farm near Gippsland, VIC, will possibly also have whale killing problems.
But don’t worry. They are doing an aerial survey and I’m 100% positive that they’ll find no problems with potential harm to whales.
https://www.sgst.com.au/community/whale-studies-underway-for-offshore-wind-company
160
Does this make sense: “The pygmy blue whale is challenging to study as it can swim underwater for up to 90 minutes while moving great distances. This makes aerial surveys one of the best ways to study the species.”
Can they see underwater from the air? Plus flying over just twice a month is not much of a survey. “We did not see any” “Well okay then let’s build those towers.”
Par for the course.
192
Yes, a study designed to fail.
Where have we seen that before….?
110
A proper statement might be that “The pygmy blue whale navigates by infrasonic sonar for up to 90 minutes of submergance whilst moving great distances. Any interference with their echo-sonar navigation is tantamount to mammalian genocide. ”
Apply the same psychology and factual evidence of the lethal nature of wind turbine interference with whale navigation as leverage to oppose wind farms offshore.
60
But then again, they CAN SEE underwater from fly-overs when it comes to screaming blue murder about the terrible state of the GBR…:-)
50
I worked on Bass Strait oil/gas platforms and associated rigs for a few years. Whales would come up to the platforms and have a look around, occasionally using them as scratching posts. I’m not saying these platforms are completely harmless (and they would put out some underwater noise when actually drilling), but I would not be surprised if they are, on balance, less harmful than wind turbines.
On the NW Shelf, we had to stop drilling if a whale, or similarly large cetacean was spotted within some defined distance (can’t remember the number). We also had to try to get photos of them, and file a report on the sighting.
210
The loony left are not content with defacing the landmass, they are now defacing the seascape as well. I know first hand how wedgetail eagles get smashed by wind turbines as I have seen it myself between Inverell and Glen Innes in northern NSW. I have followed this account re whales since it first surfaced, yet not real comment from the people doing the killing or their masters. As others have noted today, they couldn’t care less about whales or anything else except control, power and MONEY!

Dave:
The same in NW Tasmania where the local sub-species is being wiped out.
Then there are plans to build a big
windfarmMoney farm in the path of migrating parrots coming from Victoria every year.Even Bob Brown is against that.
90
They’ve created massive visual pollution of the countryside (as well as killing birds, bats and insects), created maddening infrasound and audible pollution and shadow flicker, and now they’re destroying the seascape as well with visual pollution and dangers to marine life such as birds, whales and other creatures.
And unlike bird, bat and insect killings on land, whereby the evidence is visible on the ground, any flying creatures killed by windmills will quickly disappear in the ocean.
120
Not content with wrecking the onshore wildernesses around the world, they now want to impact our oceans and kill whales etc.
Theses TOXIC windfarms only last about 15 years in the oceans and the whole dirty mess has to be buried in landfills and ditto the TOXIC land based wind and solar farms.
And apparently at least 50% of Aussies think this is okay and BELIEVE they’re saving the planet?
How have we dumbed down our education of our kids + crazy, lazy fools to this degree and why don’t more MSM, so called scientists and pollies etc speak out?
None of this lunacy will change the climate at all and the very recent flourishing of Humans (just 0.1% of our history) is because we’ve used fossil fuels over the last 200 + years.
Why can’t these idiots spend just a few minutes online and look up the DATA for themselves?
Let’s spend their endless TRILLIONs of wasted dollars on useful projects like proper education, health, housing, jobs and more R & D etc.

EU leaders meet in Ostend to agree rapid build-out of offshore wind in the North Seas

It is a trillion dollar stampede. An offshore wind drought caused the EU energy crisis. Their solution is to build a lot more.
142
Twice nothing is still nothing. When the winds fail, an infinite amount of wind turbines produce zero.
80
Something that Blackout Bowen does not seem to comprehend. At 2:00pm in NSW today wind is providing less than 10% of demand. We lose 10% of our coal fired production on Friday. Not sure if enough wind turbines have been built this month to fill the gap!
20
A couple of years ago the ABC had a program about a farmer on the west coast of Tasmania who leased some of his land to a company to build soem wind turbines. The project manager was quoted as saying that the wind turbines produce electricity at 18 kph and greater.
I read on this site that wind turbines shut done when wind speeds reach 50 kph or greater.
So nothing in wind farm terms is windspeed less than 18 kph and greater than 50 kph. I’m not sure what happens when the wind gusts at about 16 to 20 or 48 to 52 kph.
The same project manager also said that the average wind speed at the Tasmanian site was 30 kph and had reached 200 kph at times. To me that suggests that each structure must be engineered and built to withstand windspeeds up to 200 kph but only produces electricity at wind speeds between 18 and 50 kph.

So… what are you quoting? There is a thing called the tip speed ratio which is how much faster the turbine spins compared with wind speed. So are your speeds wind or tip speed or have you used two different speeds?

So many penetrating comments above, like Mike’s, which get to the core issues of personal power, control and money.
There’s too much self aggrandizement and self promotion on the internet that goes unchallenged and this just supports the virtue seeking Renewables expansion.
As described in several U.S. news outlets a while ago, this is only the development stage where explosive blasting is bringing death to sealife.
The second stage, actual wind turbine operation, is the one that has long term implications for sea life, which obviously includes the whales, if there are any left after stage one.
A gigantic whale killing “wind farm” is being pushed through off the East coast here and the political machinations around that are surreal. No mention has been made of the damage that will be loaded onto the crews on the ships parked off NovoCastria waiting to load coal.
Maybe this is all about stopping CO2 leaving the Hunter.
Of course, there’s the mandatory Public Consultation Period, which ends in a few days, but in the meantime there’s a monstrous pile of Fibre Glass Windmill components stacked over on the old BHP Steelworks sight where they’re mostly hidden from public scrutiny.
Does this tell us something about the so called, consultation?
The deceit knows no end, as seen with land based turbines, where the issue has been described as “Noise” to stymie legal action by the poor landholders who were lured into allowing Unrenewables on their property.
So green it makes you want to vomit, and that’s only one of the symptoms.
And the Whales, and our local Dolphins?

Off-shore wind farms are where this madness is heading because the blades are getting too big for land transport, at least for any road that has a curve in it between the source and destination.
The Chicomms are planning to build an off-shore windmill with a 260m (853ft) blade diameter, falsely advertised as being able to produce 18MW (randomly, maybe).
It’s good for the Chicomms because they earn big money selling the product which is one of the instruments of destruction of their stupid competitors in the West, especially fully dumbed-down countries like Australia, fanatical followers of the anthropogenic global warming fraud. It’s win-win for them.
Meanwhile, while the West is producing no extra life-giving CO2 or even reducing it, the Chicomms increase their production relentlessly and without any limit in sight. (Not that CO2 emissions matter, but ignorant people have been brainwashed to think that they DO.)
Leftists will dismiss carnage to marine life just as they dismiss it for terrestrial wind farms. It’s all for their god Gaia.
https://newatlas.com/energy/h260-18mw-biggest-wind-turbine/
70
Your point on the transport logistics of the blades is probably legitimate. But the real reason wind is going off-shore is because there are less objectors. The other technical reason is that maybe wind statistics are better off shore. General capacity factors for offshore wind is high 30’s, whereas on-shore is 27-30%. The Vic government just announced a wind power facility near Rokewood. Lily D’ ambrosio did the announcement early this week. On local regional radio the head of the company had the hide to talk it up. He mentioned that the facility was to be built there because there is good wind statistics- duh, why else would you build it there? The usual total lie about the MW produced and then mentioned that green electricity from this facility would probably flow to all homes in Victoria. Which, if you understand basic electric circuitry means nothing really.
40
The big EU turbine producers are working on 15 MW units which are about as big. Over 1,000 are supposed to be installed along the US east coast. That is what we are fighting. Land units run around 2 MW for the reason you state, no way to ship the blades to the site. The monster offshore units sit on giant monopiles 30′ in dia and 300′ long. Driving them into the sea floor is incredibly loud. It can be heard underwater 50 miles away.
52
The US Atlantic coast falls victim to many hurricanes each year. What is the proven monopile fatigue stress failure model for height, cantilevered mass, wind velocity, cyclic rate, and 1st through 3rd harmonics?
Haven’t seen that model yet. Probably won’t see it until after the Nth failure at 5 years.
Get a Cat 3 or 4 off the coast of VA with a 100 meter tower and a 50 ton cantilevered nacelle with an additional 200 m embed, and it will snap off like a twig. Cyclic fatigue failure will win. It is the harmonics that hurt most at sympathetic vibrational modes, not the steady winds. Nature always wins.
80
And the destruction will continue on land as well. In a recent environmental assessment our Bureau of Land Management (BLM) indicated that a local wind energy plant in combination with others in the area covering almost 1,000 square miles would kill 28% of the local Bald Eagle population per year.
I wrote in my public comments that no creature could tolerate such levels of mortality. I doubt the local Sierra Club chaper even made a comment — they are all in on wind energy unless it approaches Jackson Hole.
60
Do Heartland and CFACT, in their new found environmental concern, propose banning off-shore drilling, prospecting, and shipping as well?

No because gee we need shipping. Or do you think not?
There is no Atlantic drilling but drill rigs are miniscule compared to 300 square mile wind facilities. Plus we actually need oil. Keep in mind that US electric power consumption is not growing so we do not need this climate crazy junk filling up the coast.

And the sonar site surveys that are killing whales now are even worse. This one is 2,300 square miles: https://www.cfact.org/2023/04/05/ignoring-dead-whales-noaa-proposes-another-site-survey-off-new-jersey/

I was wondering when one the anti-life leftists would come along with some weaselling attempt at mis-direction and distraction.
Wind turbines produce pulse infrasound, that is highly damaging to large ocean life MANY km away.
It destroys their directional sense and their communication ability.
One oil rig, versus hundreds of lethally thumping huge wind turbines, DELIBERATELY placed in the whale migration paths.
The big question is, WHY aren’t the leftist Greens, Teals, Greenpeace, WWF, EPA etc fighting against these off-shore wind turbine monstrosities with the same gusto they put into saving a wide-spread snail or lizard species that might be in the way of actually worthwhile and necessary infrastructure (which turbine most definitely are not)

92
Your link to material about offshore drilling is nothing more than an ignorant opinion piece, lacking facts and objectivity. The reference to the Deepwater Horizon tragedy is a clear sign the author is as intellectual lazy as you, if not more so.
As I commented above, I’ve spent a lot of time on offshore rigs, and we have exceedingly strict environmental controls, plus, we did have whales wandering around, as well as seals using the platform’s steel jacket as a sun bed. Had these locations been real centres of noise and/or chemical pollution, I really think there would not be anything like the level of marine life that was evident.
The environmental management aspect was never just a paper exercise to tick boxes, it was treated seriously by everyone, from senior management in town, to everyone based on the offshore installation.This, I have seen first hand, working with multiple oil companies and drilling contractors, both onshore, and offshore Australia.
Is it devoid of environmental impact? Is seismic surveying devoid of environmental impact? No, and no one would ever claim it is, but I advise you to do some actual research on the topic before pretending you can comment with any authority.
90
“The environmental management aspect was never just a paper exercise to tick boxes”
Very different from most “Green” enterprises, where environmental damage is basically ignored… (eg wind turbines, solar farms and their manufacture)
40
Of course we only use TOXIC, useless energy like W & S because they’re heavily subsidised and mandated by delusional govt’s around the world.
Without the stupid Govt’s intervention they wouldn’t exist and we’d be able to use proper, RELIABLE BASELOAD energy like Coal, Gas, Nuclear or Hydro.
Linnea Lueken checks the DATA about clueless, TOXIC wind energy and proves it’s a joke and we should allow these disasters to quickly plunge into bankruptcy. And the sooner the better.

Who would have thought that the Green and progressive movement would turn 180 degrees on its own trademark policies ???.
Back in the 1980s we would see large demonstrations by the activists to save trees, where they would chain themselves to large trunks that were targeted for felling. We saw similar demonstrations with saving whales, where Greenpeace had its own anti-whaling ship to disrupt commercial fishing in the southern ocean. We also had the huge anti-dam movement which helped win the 1983 election for the ALP, with the banning of a hydro dam in Tasmania and hardly a dam has been built in the ensuing 40 years. Today the Greens endorse chopping down entire forests just to use the wood to burn as biomass, or to clear the wilderness for solar and wind farms. Death of wildlife is now a good thing if it’s related to green infrastructure and you can now wipe out entire species without a news headline or a single protester. Wales are now considered collateral damage and when large numbers started washing up on beaches in the USA due to offshore wind related sonar mapping, there was hardly a word of concern uttered and hardly a greenie to be seen.
Then we have the dams. Although nothing has been built to date, there are plans for dozens of new dams for pumped hydro and the same protesters that sought to ban dams in the past are demanding the clearing of vast areas of pristine forest to construct dams atop of hills as well as flooding new river valleys. They even endorse using saline water from the ocean to fill the dams and care little about environmental impacts of an unwanted leak of salt water into the environment. Then we have the women’s rights movement. Rather than fervently protest about women’s rights, today the same movement seeks to cancel women completely and the definition of a women now includes people with fully functioning male genitalia. Calls to prevent men competing in women’s sports, using women’s rest rooms or being detained in women’s prisons, are met with outrage.
And the greatest irony of all is seeing conservatives being forced to step in to save women as well as whales and other creatures, now endangered by an out of control green movement that seeks to unleash environmental armageddon on a scale never seen before in human history, and that requires 8x the mining intensity and where vast quantities of toxic wastes will be created in the extraction process and dumped into the environment without a protester in sight or a care about the impacts.

I’m just going to put this out here for discussion.
Who pays for the subsidies for:
Offshore wind construction.
Onshore cabling requirements.
Substation costs.
Transmission line costs.
Switchgear and protective relaying costs? SCADA costs?
Frequency, voltage, compensation costs.
Backup generation costs.
Add all of these costs onto the wind/solar generators, because that is where the responsibilities lie.
Add, also, the costs to consumers, industry, jobs, retirements, education, national security, food security, and more I’ve left out.
Add it all up. None of it would exist without the idiotic goals of the politically subsidized, ignorant, chattering class of incompetent fools who cannot seem to know their own history, maths, sciences, wars, economics, or philosophy. The Stupid have inherited Liberty and chosen to squander it in order to feel good about themselves. How shameful the ingrates propose fantasy over reality. When it comes to it, don’t ask me for charity. You lot have spent that already.

AGAIN here’s the best DATA we have that proves they’re wrecking our environment and wasting TRILLIONs of $ for NOTHING.
So where’s their EXISTENTIAL THREAT for Humans, because the UN DATA proves we are flourishing and have been for the last 200 + years?
But here’s the accurate UN DATA since 1950 and can anybody please point out where I’m wrong?
Global life expectancy in 1950 just 45.5 years.
In 1970 increased to 56.5 years.
In 2023 increased to 73 years.
But poor African life exp in 1950 just 36 years.
In 1970 African life exp 46 years.
In 2023 African life exp now 64 years.
And African population increased since 1950 by over 1200 million people. In 1950 just 227 million and in 2023 over 1430 million.
This is easily the FASTEST Human population GROWTH RATE in Human history. THINK and WAKE UP.
Never forget that global Human population only reached 1000 million people in 1800.
So Africans increased their population by 1200 hundred million in just 73 years and the global population took 200,000 years to reach the first 1000 million. There’s your proof and please tell me where I’m wrong?
And here’s the link using UN data. So AGAIN please tell me what’s wrong with our global climate today?

Sent their concerns to the local ant’s nest for comment. They said, “Go see the mold growing on your bread.”
Just heard from the local midwife 8 still births so far this year. One was from an un-covid 19 vaccinated Mother, the other seven were vaccinated against Covid 19. The normal rate for the region is one per year. The local undertaker told the retired Pathologist she was seeing an extraordinary number of cases of still births and miscarriages.
So do not worry there may be nobody left to rebuild the human ant nest or contaminate the next slice of humanity.
