  • @jnj2195
    @jnj2195 Год назад +14

    Comments are completely naive. The pile driving and frequencies being set forth by the instillation of wind farms is absolutely killing the whales. Period. In NJ, the seas are relatively empty right now. This is considered the "off season" for most private and charter vessels. Other than ships going through the Ambrose channel which is extremely deep. There is a correlation between the construction as well as the whale deaths.

      Diamond offshore wind is run by old Enron oil execs(I'll not name names). They're all from the same group, at the end of the day energy companies who's bottom line is the almighty dollar. Anyone who thinks any different is naive
      And in all honesty, unfortunately offshore wind needs to cover a massive amount of ground testing with their sonar/seismic equipment vs an oil company completing geophysical work. It's not even close.

    • @TheMaineReset
      @TheMaineReset Год назад +1

      I've been interviewing people who have been fighting against offshore wind for 2 years. At this point, there are just as many democratic voters as republican or apolitical folks who are opposing offshore wind. I've yet to meet anyone who got dollar one from an oil company. And we are having this conversation on a social media channel that is at least partially owned by a green energy lobbying nonprofit which, I would presume, has some offshore wind interests in their portfolio of clients. (I am referring to Global Commons Alliance, which is a partner in the NowThis Earth brand.) It's a fairly large and seemingly nebulous organization, but I have researched and reported on several of the PR efforts to dismiss the impacts of OSW surveys over the last few months which all use the same basic script. And guess what? They all trace back to NGO's with hefty offshore wind donations. Every freaking one. The one convenient thing about this is that I can just keep copying and pasting my work everywhere, because all the PR arms just continuously recycle the same talking points that were hastily assembled in January/early Feb.

      Hi.
      Do you remember when Stormy Mayo said this about seismic testing a few years ago (Oil and gas at the time)
      "We think seismic testing is damaging , not just to whales, but to much of the marine ecosystem"
      Oh how times have changed in a few years.
      Not a boo from him now.

      Shipping has been going on for a long time and sonar has too. Whales have been dying and beached for ever as well.
      However as soon as the wind mill industry started surveying areas in those same areas a giant up tick in whales and dolphin deaths has happened… doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots. If you usually don’t have a draft in your house and someone busts your windows out and now you have a draft are you going to blame your sink that’s been there the whole time… ………

      Better believe we do. Every NJ fisherman knows what's going on right now. It has zero to do with anything other than the instillation of these windfarms. The frequencies of the pile drivers and the survey teams are killing these animals. Our waters are quite clean in the Ambrose channel. Also, boats both private and charter are docked right now in our off season.

      @@jnj2195 BS The USA has less than 200 offshore wind turbines. In comparison the Uk has over 11,000 offshore wind turbines, and the rest of Europe has over 2000 and guess what, they’re hasn’t been a major increase in whale deaths or deaths due to beaching. The math isn’t adding up. It makes no sense that that would happen here and no where else. Plus out of the 200 or so that we have, less than 20 are currently working. This argument has been made up by pseudoscience idiots. By the way the main group that is spreading this lie has ties to big oil. What a surprise!

      Lolol . Wow, what an uninformed clown you must be.
      Orsted IS old oil money.
      Diamond offshore wind is run by 2 old Enron execs. You can't make this up. Big oil using the same tactics and playing partisan hacks such as yourself like a fiddle. The sad part is fools like you can't even see it. This shouldn't be a political issue at all, but shills like you do come in handy for big energy companies.
      Ocean City shore residents are reporting their houses vibrating from the seismic testing (not the actual windmills)
      Let me guess, you think it's all a conspiracy and these residents are lying. Go back to Q'anon.
