Dead whales due to green policies?

[Monello]

Whale deaths increase while portions of the sea are surveyed for wind farms.

Another whale washed up dead along the Jersey Shore last week, and still so many questions loom about the cause of the incredible number of incidents. According to NOAA, the Seaside Park stranding marks the 14th in New Jersey and New York shores since December 1.

Another humpback whale that met its demise off our coast got carried by the current to shoreline of Seaside Park Thursday.

But fear not, the government tells us everything is fine. The same government that said Brian Sicknick was bludgeoned to death, masks prevented covid and a piss tape rumor sounded legitimate.

More dead whales washing up ashore as federal agencies deny connection to offshore wind development​

As deceased whales are washing ashore, federal agencies are rejecting the possibility that offshore wind energy could be to blame, despite warnings from the National Ocean Atmospheric Association (NOAA).

Maybe I should have put this in the conspiracy section.

I'm sure they're working on Solar Whales to replace all the carbon based variety.

A few dead whales is such a small price to pay for an astonishingly expensive bunch of offshore turbines that will sporadically produce 0-3% of the electrical power demand of the grids they get connected to.

Nothing but win.

It's a damned good thing that I'm not cynical and abhor sarcasm.

Earlier this month, I reported that New Jersey Republicans were demanding that construction on offshore wind farm projects be halted for up to 60 days to see if it will reduce the number of whales washing up dead on East Coast beaches.

Now 50 mayors from the Blue States along the East Coast, where marine mammals continue to wash ashore dead, are also calling for a moratorium.

Dozens of East Coast mayors representing cities in three Democratic-led states — New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland — are calling for an offshore wind development moratorium in light of recent marine wildlife deaths.

In an open letter to Congress sent Tuesday, 50 mayors from across the three states said offshore wind development should immediately cease until a thorough investigation is conducted. The mayors expressed concern that the increasing number of whale and dolphin deaths is negatively impacting the ocean ecosystem their communities rely upon.
“Our coastal economies rely on a healthy ocean ecosystem to function, and we are increasingly concerned about the environmental impacts offshore wind may already be affecting our communities,” the mayors wrote to Congress.
“The current level of marine mammal mortality is unacceptable, and we need answers,” the letter continued. “In the absence of scientific evidence explaining the increase in marine mortality, we believe the connection between offshore wind activity and marine mammal mortality must be investigated now.”

The whales may not wait for our politicians. Killer whales appear to be organizing attacks against sailboats off the coast of Europe.

meanwhile....the very first pylon for the very first wind turbine for the very first commercial offshore wind farm arrived in New Bedford just the other day.

So much progress.

The current level of marine mammal mortality is unacceptable, and we need answers,

But deadly drugs coming in the porous southern border is okie dokie. I guess to this administration human mortality IS acceptable.
