Evidence that offshore wind energy vessel surveys are the cause of the recent New Jersey whale and dolphin deaths #NJ

The evidence that offshore wind energy vessel surveys are the cause of the recent New Jersey whale and dolphin deaths consists of the following elements, listed below and then each presented in detail in the original document. There have been recent unprecedented spikes in whale deaths The deaths began when the number of vessel surveys increased. The time and place of the whale deaths coincides with survey vessel presence. The use of an unsupported low noise source level and a . . .

Will our environmental laws ensure the protection of endangered species? Revolution Wind alone will potentially violate the Endangered Species Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Bald and Golden Eagles Act, and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, by threatening the existence of fourteen endangered species: four whale species, two turtle species, one fish species, four bird species, two eagle species, and one bat species. The Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act require agencies both to protect . . .

Markbygden, Sweden

Markbygden, Sweden - when completed, this is to be the largest windpower facility in Europe - it is majority-owned by the Chinese power company CGN and is contracted to sell the power to Norsk Hydro in Norway

Ontario electricity supply, 2-7 November 2023

This graph from IESO, captured by Parker Gallant, shows the electricity supply in Ontario from 2 to 7 November 2023, clearly showing that as the wind dies, natural gas fills in - wind: green; gas; blue; hydro; light blue; nuclear: orange

Gone with the wind? Wind farm–induced wakes and regulatory gaps #DNK #NOR

Abstract – Wind farm–induced wakes can propagate dozens of kilometres, decreasing the power production and the fatigue lifetime of wind turbines between neighbouring farms. This phenomenon termed hereinafter “wind theft”, may lead to legal conflicts between wind farm operators and even States as power production from a wind farm is affected by the wake effects generated by another, reducing power output. Wind theft can substantially slow down the development of offshore wind if it is not regulated by a clear legal . . .
