According to reports by the Times (London) and Daily Caller, a young minke whale was found dead in the United Kingdom on May 20. Its mother was found dead on a nearby beach the same day, and a third whale washed ashore on May 21. It’s believed the three whales were part of the same family.
According to marine wildlife experts, the whales were likely disoriented by nearby wind turbines, which can affect the sonar whales use to navigate.
“My personal opinion is that could be a consequence of wind farms and the amount of sand in the water,” said John Cresswell, chairman of the Felixstowe Volunteer Coast Patrol Rescue Service, according to the Times. “If you stop the boat off the coast you can feel the vibrations and hear the noise.”

there that will harm what we take
for granted, away from us.
"My personal opinion" means pure unsubstantiated speculation. If a plane falls out of the sky anywhere near a windmill, the windmill haters will claim it was the windmills fault.
ReplyDeleteExactly right. Add to that the likelihood that the author is probably the first to p1ss and moan about high energy bills and global warming from fossil fuels.

ReplyDeleteBetween the initial cost and maintenance wind farms do not come close to breaking even at the end of there life spand. Its all about energy credits sold not green energy
ReplyDeleteWindmills have no place out in the ocean, which is there for the marine life. Some people just don't care what damage these man made things do to other living things. Very sad.
