The heartbreaking sight of massive whales washing up dead on our coasts has concerned people everywhere asking, "why?"
"Damn the whales, full speed ahead" seems to be the offshore wind policy of Biden's NOAA.
Thirteen humpback whales in calendar year 2023 have washed ashore from Maine to Florida, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which already is approaching last year’s total of 19.
Thanks to cameras created by Hack the Planet, a Dutch tech company, footage is downloaded and analyzed automatically so that poachers can be caught in the act – not months and months after the heinous acts are perpetrated.
Have federal regulators turned a blind eye to the possibility of offshore wind farm encroachment on whale habitats?
Press coverage of the tragic whale deaths is a supreme study in confusion, especially the foolish attempts to somehow exonerate offshore wind.
"...more and more people believe it's the underwater geotechnical surveys that are being done to survey underwater to see if it's feasible to install these wind turbines."
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management crafted a draft EIS that is “woefully inadequate” in addressing potential impacts to severely endangered right whales.
Despite what you may have heard.
The facts on animal encounters.
Vineyard's location is whale country, including the summer breeding ground of the severely endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.
There is nothing like a cluster of large whales washing up dead on the shores of New York, New Jersey, and Virginia.
Listing a plant or animal under the ESA – either as threatened or endangered – triggers strict land-use restrictions that could have devastating economic consequences.
The dilemma is how to pretend that it is doing everything it can to protect the critically endangered Right Whale, while at the same time green-lighting massive wind energy industrialization of the ocean waters off the East Coast.
Polar bears are neither cuddly friends, nor drowning or starving because you live in freedom and prosperity. It is well past time to end polar bears as propaganda.
