Saw on the news yesterday the offshore wind group had asked for clarification on how many sea creatures they would be allowed to kill off O C. Unbelievable but true. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Here's a recent report titled: Building offshore wind can permanently deafen porpoises, but OK now with Bubble Walls? Click Here It describes how some wind farm construction in the Baltic and North seas may begin using a bubble wall technique to help buffer the porpoises hearing. Yet there's the irony that for years the pubic was being told by govt officials that the windmill pile driving was safe for those porpoises, dolphins and whales. So there's still the question of: How many porpoises, dolphins & whales were deafened and left to die wandering the ocean blindly before the bubblers began? I also saw a report that a Connecticut/ Massachusetts wind project has begun using a bubble technique. Click Here But I'm wondering why that this idea hasn't yet been mentioned for the Ocean City project (at least in reports I've seen) |
