Let’s say they do kill whales. I’m guessing these people still want renewable energy right? You can’t eat your cake and have it too. What’s the alternative? “Lend based wind farms kill birds” “nuclear power plants are unsafe and still generate dangerous waste” fuck me, I’ve heard so many excuses over the years, there are downsides to all options, but we need to do something, so stop whining!

I find it both very sad, and hilarious that many people who WANT an end to the fossil fuel lobby get suckered in to to the bullshit that that the same investment group throw out against wind farms.

I’m totally for wind farms BTW.

I just got horribly downvoted for summarising a YouTube video but here it is again for the people that just want an overview. Tell me, if you watch it, how accurate is it?:

In the YouTube video "'Thrown to the wind' -- are wind farms really killing whales?", the speaker examines the claims that wind farms are causing an increase in whale deaths off the eastern coast of America. Despite government statements denying a proven connection between wind farms and whale deaths, some argue that surveys used for wind farm development and pile driving cause excessive noise that harms whales. However, the speaker challenges these claims, pointing out that shipping boats, cruise liners, warships, and seismic surveys during oil exploration produce even louder noises. The video also investigates the correlation between wind farm traffic and whale deaths in the New England area and concludes that there is no proven link between wind farm activity and whale deaths, as whale deaths are rising globally and there is no increase in whale deaths in areas with more wind farms. The speaker also criticizes those opposing renewable energy based on unsubstantiated claims about wind farms harming whales, urging viewers to support a charity called Health in Harmony instead

It's so weird that the crossposted post is being downvoted. I wonder why.
