Reports of recent whale and dolphin deaths on and near the New York and New Jersey shores, and public concerns of marine noise impacts from offshore wind development activities, prompted an investigation into the sonar noise levels produced by exploratory survey vessels working in ocean areas leased by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). This technical report presents the methodology, analysis and results of a brief independent investigation of underwater noise levels from a sonar survey vessel, conducted offshore . . .

Cost of Wind: The Negative Economic Effects of Global Wind Energy Development
Abstract: This paper provides a structured literature review of the negative economic effects associated with the development of wind energy and synthesized the evidence at an abstract level. We then developed an analytical framework to systematically review economic issues such as volatility, electricity price, housing values, and unemployment in relation to wind energy. Global wind energy development data from the time period from 2000 through 2019 were included for a more robust analysis. This period encompasses the vast majority of . . .

Judgment of Ms. Justice Emily Egan delivered on the 8th day of March 2024 Ballyduff, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford— 582. I find that there are frequent and sustained periods during which AM [amplitude modulation] values are conservatively in excess of 5 or 6 dBA. I also find that there are regular periods during which the AM values are considerably in excess of 6 dBA, in the order of 10 dBA or more. I find that such high AM values exacerbate the . . .

Clear away with your useless turbines #IRL
Download the MP3 file. Buy the higher-quality track at Bandcamp. This is a song based on our experience of wind farm planning applications in the Glenties/Ardara area of County Donegal, Ireland. The furtive secrecy, the lack of public consultation, the absence of cost/benefit analysis,the lies about employment, the environmental destruction caused by wind farming and its associated industries, and the need for communities to simply say no, not under these conditions. —Glenties Windfarm Information Group, 2015 stopthesethings.com/2014/08/16/how-much-co2-gets-emitted-to-build-a-wind-turbine/ irishenergyblog.blogspot.ie/2015/04/cost-benefit-analysis-obligations-for.html www.bbc.com/future/story/20150402-the-worst-place-on-earth (((( . . .

8 Steps Used by Windpower Developers to Create Agreements
People who believe that offshore wind turbines can help solve climate change are misinformed. Because the facts are that they will not. Even the companies building them make no such claim. And the truth, based on facts, will always trump belief. I am not a climate denier, but you don’t have to be a climate denier to know that these things are bad and are doomed to failure. And you also don’t have to be linked to the fossil fuel . . .
