Massive Offshore Wind Project Gets Underway With Permission To ‘Take’ Endangered Whales

[1srelluc]

• A large offshore wind project off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard has begun nearly two years after federal regulators approved “take” permits for the project’s developer allowing for thousands of incidental killings of marine mammals, including dozens of whales protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and up to 20 endangered North Atlantic right whales.
• Federal regulation allows for the approval of take permits for marine life so long as the permitted number of incidental deaths has a minimal effect on the longer-term viability of the species.
• The construction process for the turbines necessitates underwater blasts of noise which “are louder than a jet engine at 25 yards” of distance, New England Fishermen Stewardship Association (NEFSA) President Jerry Leeman told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

A large offshore wind farm development project is underway off the Massachusetts coast nearly two years after the project’s developer received 20 “take” permits in June 2021 for the endangered right whale from environmental bureaucrats and regulators.

I see you only bitch about this event killing whales yet,


What is the main cause of whale deaths?

Overall, experts say that human interactions are a leading factor in whale deaths, through ship strikes or entanglements from ropes and other fishing gear. That's a particular threat this winter, when animals that are typically the whales' prey have reportedly come close to shore, NOAA officials say.Feb 5, 2023

The Democratic party have always killed, from the KKK to their morbid position on aborting babies.

Come on, what are few whales compared to the babies killed. What are a few whales when democrats are killing hundreds of endangered turtles.

Who cares if the whales die, the democratic party is saving the planet

By building more?

As a abortion choice republican , dobbs decision is sedition against us 14th , 9th and 1st amendments that is supported by traitors to us republic , who can shove the abortion issue up their mentally retarded asses .

As a republican for the american school of economics , the economic libertarians ( liberals ) are apparently happy to offshore infrastructure and manufacturing , rather than promoting those industries domestically .

Allegedly, that's called saving the planet
