How a false claim about wind turbines killing whales is spinning out of control in coastal Australia::Windfarm critics claim projects will harm marine life. Scientists say that’s not backed by credible evidence
The worst part is it’s not just ‘they’ll kill whales, trust us’, it’s that they’ve cited a study in a journal to support their claim - but the journal says they have no record of the study being published or existing in the first place!
Obviously the deep state is suppressing the truth.
The deep sea state
Heard this argument in NJ from the NIMBYs as well. It killed our offshore wind project, unfortunately.
Giant propellers in the sky kill whales got it, but propellers underwater are fine right? Behind a large cargo ship right?
Makes sense as to why airplanes no longer use propellers as well.
Thou shalt not suffer a NIMBY to live.
They really do ruin everything, don’t they
They sure do. I find this movement pretty self defeating though. Sea level rise will destroy the communities that fought against this
That reminds me the pamphlet stating that cows milk would turn when a train passes too close to them.
This commercial had people thinking spaghetti grows on trees.
Big wind. Killing whales. Seriously though, are they doing it on porpoise?
Nar whal maybe
That so ridiculous it’s funny as hell.
My understanding is any time you have a construction project in a marine environment you can potentially put the local fauna at risk.
The specifics matter, however, and there are ways to mitigate risks.
Some people are just fodder for manipulation and to do the bidding of others who only care is their profit.
