Dominion Energy’s absurd reply to CFACT’s whale protection lawsuit

Dominion Energy has issued a brief response to the whale protection lawsuit filed by CFACT et al. When I first saw it I thought there must be some mistake but it has appeared in a lot of press reports.

This central claim by Dominion is simply absurd: “The overwhelming consensus of federal agencies and scientific organizations is that offshore wind does not adversely impact marine life.” No adverse impact? Seriously?

In reality the responsible federal agency predicts an enormous adverse impact.

NOAA‘s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has authorized Dominion to acoustically harass almost 80,000 marine mammals and these noise harassments are certainly adverse impacts. They even include temporary deafness which can easily be deadly.
