New Report Suggests “Whale Psychiatrist” Trump May be Right About Wind Farms and Whales

US Bureau of Ocean Management report says whales, dolphins, birds and bats can all be injured by wind turbine construction, and offshore fishing harmed.

Joe Rogan’s interview with President Donald Trump certainly covered a wide-range of topics.

While my colleague Mike LaChance discussed the interview, as the podcast touched upon the subject of whale deaths associated with offshore wind farm construction, I thought I would chime in here.

I have noted the spate of whale deaths recorded along the East Coast. At one point, New Jersey Republicans demanded that construction on offshore wind farm projects be halted for up to 60 days to see if it reduced the number of whales washing up dead.


The moratorium did not go through. In fact, Federal authorities approved the construction of up to 195 wind turbines off New Jersey’s coast in July of this year.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Right up there with letting fuel loads accumulate in forested areas and then watching it all burn.

These people aren't smart enough to run an ecosystem. (Not that I think anyone is.)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Do they even know what an ecosystem is? :shrug:

It did shift in there somewhere:

Eco (life) logy (study of)

Environ (having to do with surroundings) mental (having to do with one's state of mind, sanity) ism (a deeply held belief pattern, often religious)
