You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.
“A New Jersey congressman is demanding an investigation into whether offshore wind projects are killing whales off the coast of the Garden State and the state of New York.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., announced on Friday that he would be calling for an investigation into the increasing number of dead whales that have washed up off the coast of New Jersey over the last month once committee assignments for the 118th Congress are finalized.
In less than two months, seven dead whales have washed up along the New Jersey-New York coastline, local media have reported.”
I have to admit I don’t see how offshore wind turbines are killing whales. Sea birds yes but unless these are flying whales I don’t get the connection between the turbines and the dead whales. But based on the track record of the geniuses in the green clown show I wouldn’t bet against it being so.
Well I guess the whales are just going to have to suck it up to save the planet. Maybe next time it can be the polar bears’ turn. Or the pandas. Thanks Gaia.
I’m no fan of wind turbines, but this seems to be a real stretch. Possibly there are vibrations from the turbines transmitted though the pylon and submerged foundations that the whales are sensitive to. I know infra-sound from land-based turbines can cause a lot of problems for humans including hearing loss, tinnitus, high blood pressure and even heart problems.

Ed, I can’t make up my mind whether this is a ridiculous claim or whether these clowns have once again found a way to screw something up but when the Greens are screaming at the Greens I’m happy. When the Whale Worshippers and the Wind Worshippers are at each others’ throats I call that a good day.
Obviously the wind turbines are submersible.
Tom, what a wonderful idea. Maybe they can have a wind turbine capture energy and have an under water impellor take that energy and use it to frappe the ocean. All of the ocean life could be blended into a marvelous marine smoothie. Think of it, plankton, blue whales, great white sharks, sea horses, Portuguese man o’ wars, kelp, lobsters and tuna all blended into a disgusting gelatinous goo. They could save the Earth by ending all life in the ocean. This would be even greater than the utterly stupid compact florescent bulb that was forced upon us twenty years… Read more »
