Turbines Kill the Sea: “Carpet Bombing the Ocean Floor”

16

Stop the wind farms. The environmentalists are completely full of shit. And evil. Whales are dying from offshore wind turbines And its not just whales.

The fishing industry is concerned construction of wind turbines on coastal waters is jeopardizing jobs and the fish population.

Fox Business: “Siting these windmills in historic fishing grounds will torpedo the livelihoods of thousands of hardworking Americans and their coastal communities,” Bonnie Brady, executive director of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, told FOX Business.

As major projects get underway, fishermen say they are being forced to take lengthier routes and navigate between turbines, which can be dangerous in bad weather conditions, raise fuel costs and also hinder catch totals.

They say problems exist even in spots where the turbines have yet to go up. Commercial fishermen, along with charter fishing boats, are seeing fish flee from the noise of the site surveys, only returning to regular spots a few days later.

“These boats are not stationary,” Capt. Greg Cudnik of Fish Head Charters in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, told FOX Business. “Sometimes they have two or three working within a wind energy area, zigzagging up and down through the area, basically carpet bombing the ocean floor with sound.”

Turbines Kill the Sea

Stop the Wind Farms

By: Math Goddess, Chaso and Control, Feb 8, 2022:

Ørsted is preparing for the largest Ocean Wind turbine project in the US, located in New Jersey, by nonstop sonar bombardment of the seafloor, which is the suspect of the recent whale deaths… But it won’t end there.

The construction will continue by punching holes 60 ft wide by 100-150 ft deep, then building caissons (a watertight chamber used in construction work under water or as a foundation) to pour steel and concrete. Finally, they will erect 1000 ft wind turbines, with 180 ft blades, which spin at 180 mph. The blades will slice up anything that happens to fly by, with the down draft from the blades impacting the sea and waves below.

The construction will also include dredging a trough 6 ft deep, 10-15 miles from the turbines to the shore so that electrified cable can be laid, then reburied in the trough. Once the electricity gets to the shore, there isn’t an existing energy grid and stations that can handle the incoming power, therefore, Ørsted will have to erect multiple off shore “islands” to be built to house new power substations.

The project, called Ocean Wind 1, would have up to 98 wind turbines and have infrastructure in Lacey, Waretown and Berkeley townships within Ocean County and Upper Township and Ocean City in Cape May County. Ørsted is working on gathering approvals for a second ocean lease area called Ocean Wind 2. In addition, Atlantic Shores — a collaboration between Shell New Energies and EDF Renewables is also working on developing a lease area.

Each turbine will contain 1600 gallons of transformer oil, 150 gallons of lubrication oil, diesel, fuel and SF6. Leaks would most certainly end up on our beaches. Thousands of pounds of metal, plastics and fiberglass are used to make each turbine. This wind project WILL USE fossil fuels over its limited 20 to 30 year lifespan (if we are lucky) to develop, build, transport and install repair, maintain, then finally decommission, only to end up in the land fill.

There’s more. Go…..

TOO MUCH WIND! 10 Wind Turbine Fails ^

The turbines are heavy, break down, they are not cost effective. The blades are made of fiberglass and cannot be recycled. They kill and maim birds. They are useless if there is no wind.

I know that these guys want to kill off about 95% of the world’s human population.

Looks like they just added birds and whales to their hit list.

As the old joke goes, they won’t stop until the only life forms left on earth are cockroaches and Cher.

We gotta debunk the climate change myth immediately and put an end to this dangerous plot.

All they need do is take an intro-geology class to learn that “climate change” in utter nonsense.

Decommissioning expenses must be paid up front before construction can continue.

They should drill offshore the Eastern U.S. GOD knows it is safer than this crap.

Can we put O’Crazio-Cortez and other climate nutcases out in the water where this is happening so they can meet the same fate as the poor whales and other marine life ??

I “used to be” an environmentalist. Hmmm…, not quite true. (I left all the groups because SOME (maybe all) were getting too just plain wacko with their demands. I still care about the environment, for certain. But it seems the “green energy” people and climate change people (both groups I would consider at least SOME type of environmentalist, but they seem to have made a decision that green energy through wind turbines are far more important than worrying about sea life.
Then there’s this story/rumor about the “used” turbine blades ending up in junk yards because the can’t be recycled. True? IDK.

Trying to use logic with those weeping bowls of jello is bound to failure.
And, yes, the best thing would be to put them out of their misery and ad to the fertilizer stockpile.

Giant windmills in the ocean is the stupidest idea that humanity came up with. 2% of them loose their blades every year. Maintaining those monstrosities in the middle of the Ocean ain’t easy and cheap.

As if there aren’t enough dangers in the waters let’s add some useless windmills.

Make lemonaid! Embed millions of LED’s in the blades so they light up as they spin, would look really pretty and act as warning beacons for shipping. (not as stupid as global warming)
