Big wind threatens last 300 right whales

Friend,

A few weeks ago, I let you know about CFACT’s participation in a coalition to protect the endangered right whale from Dominion Energy’s massive offshore Virginia wind project.

There are only 300 right whales left, and Dominion’s wind boondoggle lies directly in their migratory path. The greens are willing to turn a blind eye and sacrifice this endangered species in order to push more “renewable energy,” but CFACT isn’t going to let that happen!

Since we made the announcement that we had retained legal counsel to be ready to put a stop to this terrible project, the issue has generated quite a media buzz:”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why don't they just put these things on land along the shoreline?

Putting them in the ocean makes them navigation hazards to humans and animals.

I never understood what was the net benefit of destroying marine habitat for wind mills that would be less expensive to install and maintain on land.

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

For the NIMBYs, it gets the windmills and the bird slaughter far enough out it cannot be seen from land and spoil the view...

The whole green movement is about sanitizing the greenie's bubble and bugger all else.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.

Just call them semi-fascist MAGA whales and it's all good.
