The debate has split, perhaps predictably, along political lines, frustrating those who say they really are just worried about the whales, and those who may have other concerns about the full impact of wind turbines.“When do we March?,” said one poster, whose Facebook bio is “SURVIVOR, RESPECTFUL, DEDICATED, PERSISTENT, PATRIOT.” “I’m so mad I could spit.”
“Phil has no interest in stopping the project because he’s set to make $$$$, always follow the money,” wrote one poster.“There is no connection between JECS Ltd. and JECS Offshore Services, and any claim otherwise is absolutely false,” said Alexandra Altman, Murphy’s deputy communications director, in an email.
For Tricia DeVoe, an Ocean County, N.J. resident who works for a whale watching company in the summer who posted the photo of the whale they call Windy, that marine mammal death was just the latest in a string of gut wrenching strandings that are, frankly, taking over her life.“I’m holding back the tears because that question made me cry,” she said in an interview. “I’ve been basically so consumed on trying to learn more and raise awareness.
He said the discourse seems to be “very much a local phenomenon,” and said there is “only a limited window for all citizens of the U.S. and this world to do something about climate change.”That discourse had taken on a life of its own, every dead whale intensifying the debate. U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Republican who represents Atlantic and Cape May County, along with about 30 local mayors have called for a moratorium on wind energy.
Reynolds wants the emphasis to shift to slowing down marine traffic to avoid injuries the dead whales are showing evidence of, though many on Facebook are sure those injuries occurred after whales were disoriented by sonar mapping related to the turbines.
Libs will kill us all in order to chase their twisted world view...
'Conspirancy theorists' Not an IQ over 30 'A senior Biden admin. scientist authored an internal memo warning of the impacts offshore wind development may have on marine life months before the recent spate of whale deaths along the East Coast.' --Sean Hayes, (NOAA)
