No, US Offshore Wind Developers Aren’t Killing Whales, & Haven’t Been Given Permits To Do So
So, I have a history with anti-wind nuts of all types. A long history. I became Margaret Atwood’s — yes, the Handmaid’s Tale Margaret Atwood — green technology pro bono consultant after debating with Ontario’s anti-wind nuts on her blog. The American Wind Energy Association, when it existed and was a positive force in the country, used to check myblog to see if I’d written about something before they bothered to start debunking.
So what the heck is going on in the USA? Is it that they don’t have good wind or sites? Nope. Lots of great Atlantic wind with shallow continental shelves perfect for wind energy. Is it that the USA can’t build wind energy? Nope, lots of wind energy among the green oceans of wheat and corn on the Great Plains.
No, while the Koch brother and most the Kennedy family have long been disunited in their perspectives on, well, everything about how the world should operate and the value of human lives, they are united in preventing changes to their privileged existences locally.
