Do they think we're idiots!

Unintended consequences, happens all the time
In this case, there was a consequence that was deemed acceptable. Question is, will public outcry change a business practice that accepts the death of Marine mammals as an unavoidable consequence?
 
Yes George they should....I guess they call it acceptable collateral damage. When you hear that...RUN! The bottom line is MONEY!!! Energy is GREEN alright...all of it! For money even human lives have been acceptable collateral damage.

So are the mills causing harm...of course they are. Maybe the whales will adapt to this intrusion as many species on Earth have, before it's too late. I hope so because it will be hard to stop this ball now that it's rolling.
As fisherman and outdoors people I am certain that all of us want to do everything possible to protect the environment. It is also a fact of life that certain technologies carry some risk with their implementation and, as such, certain value judgments have to be made. Unfortunately, that may cause some collateral damage, but as the ultimate stewards of our environment we need to make that related damage as minimal as possible. And that covers all potential forms of energy, oil, natural gas, nuclear, solar, and wind.

So, the statement about the bottom line being the MONEY is 100% true but keeps being obfuscated by the perpetual lies that "Green Energy" will solve all of our power needs at an "affordable cost". This is where I come to the conclusion that most of this "Green Energy" program is total BS. In the entire history of the Wind and Solar industries, worldwide, I am not aware of a single program where these systems are economically viable on their own merits. It is a well-documented fact that wind energy companies like GE and Siemens are going broke trying to keep this thing alive and could not possibly survive without massive amounts of government assistance. Virtually all of these projects can only operate with enormous government subsidies AKA "your tax dollars"! We were sold a bill of goods about the cleaner planet and endless supply of "cheap" energy from these sources. Yet by the time the energy reaches our homes from these sources, it always winds up costing more, a LOT MORE, than other forms of energy.

And since we know how much big money can corrupt, let's look at the flow of money in this situation. Who are the players that are actually making out like bandits with this scheme? How about the corrupt politicians that are getting filthy rich on insider trading information related to this industry, the kinds of crimes that would have the rest of us in jail for decades. How about the corrupt corporations, in the governments back pocket, all being paid ridiculous sums of money through huge contracts and never-ending subsidies to keep the scam going. And while they keep trying to sell us on the fantasy of a greener planet with never ending resources, they continue to line their pockets with our money!

In addition, those folks are the biggest hypocrites on the entire planet. They keep telling us to get by with less while they enrich themselves. We must stop the rise of the oceans while these SOB's build waterfront mansions for themselves. We should all take public transportation and give up our "dirty fossil fueled" vehicles and move to electric cars and trucks for which a sufficient grid system has not yet even been developed, if we could afford such a thing. How many of these phonies are driving EV's?? We need to reduce our "Carbon Footprint" while they all travel around in corporate jets!

As I have said many times, we need to take an "all things on the table approach" to our energy needs. For at least a decade or more fossil fuels have become cleaner, natural gas extraction has become a more refined and safer process, and the ability to build safer nuclear powerplants is a reality. Yet, the greedy politicians and their corporate "partners in crime" continue to try and use scare tactics to "stampede the head" in the direction that enriches them the most!

This battle is every bit as difficult as trying to get sensible fisheries regulations enacted but it needs to be fought and not just from the comfort of one's keyboard at home. In that regard I will be attending the DEC Public Hearing on the Sea Bass regulations this Monday evening regardless of the weather forecast. The same thing has to happen when it comes to trying to enact sensible energy policies.
 
Interesting, brief summary of what the current "goal" is. Boggles the mind...

...to meet its (USA) stated goal of generating 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030. Among the requirements: 2,100 wind turbines; 6,800 miles of cable; $8 billion in port upgrades to handle the platforms and turbines; and dozens of vessels to be used in constructing the platforms, laying the cable, servicing the turbines and transporting workers to and from the offshore platforms. And lots of workers – an estimated 12,000 to 49,000 year-round employees working to help design, build, maintain and operate wind turbines.

I guess the good news is that the 30 gigawatts could power 24 Doc Brown DeLoreans...

As I stated earlier, the more you look the worse it gets. Imagine the impact of 2100 turbines, 1000 feet high, screaming at 200 mph. It's there anyone that doesn't think this will negatively impact out coastline and it's inhabitants?

It truly boggles the mind.

We all feel this frustration. This is playing out right before our eyes and our hands are tied. We're destroying the fabric of the east coast for $$$$$. They talk about climate change destroying the world, yet they are Ii n the process of destroying our coast.

We need to keep the pressure on. We need to stay vocal and fight this with every resource available. People love whales and dolphins and it's just a matter of time until they realize exactly what's happening.

We need to organize a coastwide demonstration to send a real message of unity. The one thing we DONT need is some blowhard politician that has never been on a boat joining us.

This is directly off the Green Peace Website. What a bunch of phoney lying pieces of crap. If you care about our whales and dolphins don't EVER give them a dime.

You see according to them sonic surveys only kill whales and dolphins when used for oil and gas research. Yet they're using the same methods.

Seismic Testing​

According to government estimates, 138,500 whales and dolphins will soon be injured and possibly killed along the east coast of the U.S. if exploration companies are allowed to use dangerous blasts of noise to search for offshore oil and gas.

And geophysical companies working on behalf of oil and gas corporations are seeking permission from the government to use seismic airguns to search for offshore oil and gas in the Atlantic Ocean.

These airguns use loud blasts on a recurring basis, going off every ten seconds, for 24 hours a day, often for weeks on end. They are so loud that they penetrate through the ocean and miles into the seafloor, then bounce back, bringing information to the surface about the location of buried oil and gas deposits.

Airgun blasts harm whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and fish. The types of impacts marine mammals may endure include temporary and permanent hearing loss, abandonment of habitat, disruption of mating and feeding, beach strandings, and even death. Seismic airguns could devastate marine life, harming fisheries and coastal economies along the Atlantic coast.

Sonar Testing​

Along the entire east coast as well as in Hawaii, Southern California, and the Gulf of Mexico, the Navy plans to test sonar and explosive devices so deafening they cause whales to abandon their normal feeding grounds and migration patterns. The Navy’s own report states that more than 40 marine mammal species will be impacted, including the endangered humpback whale and the blue whale.

For marine mammals caught closer to the training exercises, the pain they would suffer would be immense. The powerful sonar blasts will destroy their hearing and even cause their brains to hemorrhage. Naval sonar has already led to mass whale strandings, as disoriented whales attempt to escape the noise.

The National Marine Fisheries Service is responsible for the protection of these marine mammals, but instead of tossing out the Navy’s training plan, it gave the Navy the green light.

We’re continuing to document and bear witness to these issues. Join the movement to protect ocean life if you want to get involved!
 
Another whale yesterday...

Why 23 Dead Whales Have Washed Up on the East Coast Since December

Another humpback whale was spotted dead late Monday, floating near a shipping channel between New York and New Jersey, the 13th whale found in the two states in three months.

First a North Atlantic right whale, a critically endangered species, washed ashore in Virginia. Then a humpback floated onto a beach in New Jersey. Not long afterward, a minke whale, swept in on the morning tide, landed on the Rockaway Peninsula in New York City.

And that was in just a single week this month.

In all, 23 dead whales have washed ashore along the East Coast since early December, including 12 in New Jersey and New York, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The pace of the deaths is worrisome to federal scientists, even if the total numbers are below some prior years.
Late Monday, the Coast Guard spotted another whale floating south of the Ambrose shipping channel, between New York and New Jersey; two teams from New York located the animal and determined that it was a humpback, but it was not clear where it might wash ashore.

Most of the fatalities have been humpbacks, and post-mortem examinations have suggested that ship strikes are likely the cause of many of the deaths.

Scientists believe the mortality rate may be tied to an unlikely confluence of factors.

The population of humpbacks, hunted legally until 1985, has rebounded, thanks in part to decades of efforts to clean the Atlantic Ocean and heavily polluted tributaries like the Hudson River. As the climate changes and oceans warm, whales and a favored prey, menhaden, are migrating and feeding in new locations, often closer to shore.

Online pandemic buying habits are also fueling a record-setting surge in cargo shipments that last year made ports in New York and New Jersey the nation’s busiest. Much of the merchandise is now toted on far bigger ships — some of which have altered their routes to help alleviate the supply-chain chaos that last year left some store shelves bare.

As a result, more whales appear to have found themselves in the direct path of more ships.

“When the whales are in these channels,” said Paul Sieswerda, executive director of Gotham Whale, a New York City-based whale research group, “you have to cross your fingers and hope there are no collisions.”

This winter’s quick succession of stranded whales also coincides with work being done in advance of the installation of roughly a dozen large offshore wind farms from Massachusetts to Virginia. Opponents of offshore wind have said that the sonar used by energy companies to map the ocean floor or the noise from seabed rock sampling might be contributing to the whale deaths, though NOAA and the Marine Mammal Commission say there is no evidence that this is true.

The humpback whale found on Feb. 13 in Manasquan, N.J., had been spotted about a month earlier feeding in the Raritan Bay, 30 miles from where it washed ashore.

Sheila Dean’s phone at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, N.J., rang that day, as it often does when dead whales turn up. It had been an exceptionally busy few weeks for Ms. Dean, who joined the center in 1978 after years working as a sea lion and dolphin trainer on Atlantic City’s famed Steel Pier.

She and a team of 10 volunteers arrived on the beach the next morning and found a whale known by her markings as NYC0298.

There is no way to X-ray a creature as large as a school bus on a beach, so researchers check for injuries manually, pulling back thick layers of blubber and reaching up to a foot into the body cavity to look for parasites, scarring or bruises, a telltale sign of a vessel strike. The work is strenuous, and the smell is foul.

“Our job is to find out what is killing them,” Ms. Dean said.

On Feb. 17, another volunteer necropsy team was called to the Rockaways, in Queens, to investigate the death of the minke found with deep propeller gashes in its side.

Harry Wallace, chief of the Unkechaug Nation, a Native American tribe from Long Island, was there, too. He performed a burial service after the whale sleuths had finished their work.

After the prayer, a front-end loader pushed the minke into a deep hole in the beach and covered the carcass with sand — the method used to dispose of most beached whales. The animals are buried deep enough to avoid a stench; over time, extra sand is often needed to fill in the divot as the whale decomposes and the grave settles.

“It’s our responsibility to recognize and remind that all living things have a spirit,” Chief Wallace said after the ceremony.

For more than half of all whales found stranded, investigators are not able to determine a definitive cause of death. Most of the animals are too decomposed; others may have died of infections that are impossible to detect or differentiate from the bacteria that quickly begins to form on dead tissue.

Sixteen of the whales stranded in the last three months have been humpbacks, nearly half as many as washed ashore in all of 2017, a peak year for deaths of both humpbacks and right whales. That year, humpbacks, right whales and minkes were all found to be experiencing what NOAA calls an “unusual mortality event,” which has led to extra resources from the federal government for inquiry into the deaths.

Since then, at least 335 of these three species have washed ashore along the East Coast.

Still, this winter’s quick succession of deaths over a short period is unusual, NOAA officials say.

Investigators found evidence of vessel strikes in all three of the whales that washed ashore during the week of Valentine’s Day.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic fueled a surge in online shopping — and shipping — local cargo ports had undergone a significant change. Starting in 2017, ports near New York opened for the first time to the world’s biggest ships after the Bayonne Bridge was lifted, an engineering feat that raised the waterway clearance by 64 feet.

Last year, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey moved more cargo at its ports than ever before, representing a 27 percent increase in volume from 2019.

In the last six months, ships that typically traveled only south before returning to international ports have also begun making northbound return trips to retrieve empty cargo containers, said Amanda Kwan, a Port Authority spokeswoman. The round-trip routes reduce the number of empty shipping containers that accumulate in port — one of several factors that contributed to last year’s supply-chain havoc — but have also added to shipping traffic up and down the seaboard.

Last summer, NOAA proposed enforcing a 10-knot speed limit farther from port and applying it to boats as small as 35 feet, a rule thought to limit injuries if a collision occurs and to give whales time to get out of the way.

“We’re extremely careful,” said Capt. Timothy J. Ferrie, a president of the Sandy Hook Pilots Association who has steered ships in and out of New York Harbor for more than 43 years.

“If the bait is there,” he added, “the whales are there.”

Some of the loudest voices drawing attention to the uptick in whale deaths are longtime opponents of offshore wind energy, who have found in the gruesome images of rotting whale carcasses a new 40-ton mascot.

Several local groups have found common cause with national organizations that have accepted funding from the fossil fuel industry, including the Caesar Rodney Institute, a right-leaning nonprofit that David T. Stevenson helps to lead.

Mr. Stevenson, who opposes offshore wind farms, said Tuesday that he believed greenhouse gases may be causing Earth to warm at a slow rate, but that there is no climate crisis, contradicting settled science. He believes offshore wind energy will be too expensive, and he recently founded the American Coalition for Ocean Protection, which now has chapters in coastal communities in New Jersey and New York.

“If an emotional response is what it takes,” he said about concern for the whales, “I’m not going to turn them down.”

Over the last month, Republican congressmen, conservative talk-show hosts and dozens of Jersey Shore mayors have called for an immediate moratorium on wind-energy projects.

“It’s not reasonable that it’s not going to cause real ecological damage,” said Cindy Zipf, director of Clean Ocean Action in New Jersey, which is calling for additional study before offshore wind projects receive final authorization.

But environmental protection organizations have largely supported wind energy. Thirteen such groups in New Jersey have reiterated support for offshore wind, a pillar of President Biden’s ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change.

“The organizations that are serious about protecting marine life recognize there are trade-offs,” said Matthew B. Eisenson, who runs a legal defense initiative at the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia University. “Climate change can impact marine life — and we need renewable energy to mitigate climate impacts.”

Who decides what "trade offs" are acceptable?

Ambition should never cloud good judgement but we'll never get that from either party.
 
Nuclear power "alternative"

The average LCOEs for existing coal ($41/megawatt-hour), CC [combined-cycle] gas ($36/MWh), nuclear ($33/MWh) and hydro ($38/MWh) resources are less than half the cost of new wind resources ($90/MWh) or new PV solar resources ($88.7/MWh) with imposed costs included,” the report states.Jul 25, 2022
