Dr. Donald Allen Deever

Today is being celebrated as "National Wind Mill Day" in the Netherlands, but these photos show the actual modern reality, which is a far cry from the quaint wind mills that were once used to grind grain. It's hard to believe they call these things "wind parks." What a sacrilege!

@ShellenbergerMD I'll be in contact with you soon.

Are you a scientist who has studied the impact of wind or solar farms on wildlife & ecosystems? If so, I'd love to hear from you. My DMs are open. Anonymity, on-background, and off-the-record is fine. I respect all confidences. Thanks

Granted, thorium is not completely safe but it can't be used for nuclear weapons or cause a Fukushima meltdown. Extreme estimates show there may be 40,000 years of untapped thorium reserves: daretothink.org/numbers-not-ad…

See this for possibilities: revolution-green.com But the so-called "renewables" of massive industrial wind and solar facilities are not renewable. Behold the face of "renewable" energy where materials are mined & smelted with coal in China...

During my 6 week absence from Twitter, I've been researching & writing articles to educate politicians & voters of the grave dangers of destroying natural habitats to install industrial wind turbines. This article shows how hazardous such projects can be: desertreport.org/wp-content/upl…

@clearer_waters Apologies for my delay in answering. I've been away for weeks due to commitments to academic conferences and magazine commitments. To answer your question, the past year increase in whale beachings and deaths represents nearly a doubling from the normal.

@dondeever What are the numbers like from before the offshore wind farm?

This past year alone (2018), it was estimated that 1,000 whales or more may have perished on the shorelines of England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland, representing exceptionally high mortality events. There are currently 2,590 industrial wind turbines operating in the North Sea.

@no2wind @gjcats NASA studies on Texas, where more industrial wind turbines exist than anywhere else in the U.S., have found that they actually increase global warming.

@gjcats @dondeever You are supposing wind turbines will make a difference to how the climate behaves. I don't believe they do. It is a giant subsidy sucking scam.

@JerodEwert @Uppyn I've been away a few weeks. Basically, paid off politicians smell big money & turn a blind eye to all environmental damage, along with most major so-called conservation groups. On a positive note, the Navy is working hard to dampen the damaging sounds... following major lawsuits.

@dondeever @Uppyn Skimmmed this and a few others, sadly it looks like you may be right. Is there any attempt to modify or dampen the sound generated? How was this not simulated before construction?

@TammyJParadis Apologies for taking weeks to respond. I've spent weeks working to prepare for 2 academic conferences, which I gave yesterday. Yes, awareness is increasing. Tomorrow, I'm working on an article for a Sierra Club related magazine about harmful infrasound, done at at their request

@dondeever I also tried to research on this topic in my area of eastern Canada & found that there was a lack of private testing available to measure stray power & its health effects. GPs seem clueless on the subject. Do you see any increase in awareness re this health & environmental issue?

@Kev15178851 @Uppyn Factcheck, Politifact & Snopes are the antithesis of truth. They are extremely left-wing liberal spin artists who are paid to specialize in PR semantics to confuse any facts & data behind issues, rather than support or refute assertions. Such entities are the source of fake news.

@Uppyn It’s important to consider that science is empirical, which refers to data verifiable by observation or experience. It's preposterous when “scientists” can look at whales that died in view of massive offshore wind turbines & not consider the connection they see with their eyes.

@dondeever Thanks Donald! Looking forward to reading this.

@leseniels @Credalytics @Irishwildlife @IWDGnews According to internet photo search records (Bing Images), it is a photo that was taken off Denmark.

@TammyJParadis Besides the infrasound & very harmful other low frequency sounds produced by gargantuan offshore wind turbines, there is also the issue of dirty electricity from all the electrical cables in the water. Here's one interesting article on that topic: eastcountymagazine.org/manzanita-trib…

@dondeever So the electrical energy is killing aquatic life? Same thing happens with farmers & their livestock near stray power. It can cause disease, death, fetal deformity, etc. But I also read that there is a deadly parasite killing aquatic life’s too. It’s a bioengineered fix gone wrong

@gjcats Right! Interesting that the bought-and-paid-for university studies didn't even think to blame the whale deaths on warmer waters. Let me guess, global warming? Just thinking along your lines, maybe the whales blew a fuse and their turning indicators malfunctioned.

@dondeever In NL alone the usual death toll is hundreds a year. Hence1000 on UK and IRL does not seem exceptionally high. Warming waters (!) are a much more likely cause of death than noise: wur.nl/nl/show-longre…

@Uppyn Here are three internet links to relevant articles concerning the connection of deaths of whales and dolphins to dangerous industrial wind turbine infrasound: 1) masterresource.org/offshore-windp… & 2) dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3… & 3) jasonendfield.weebly.com/home/whale-dea…. There's more proof for than against

@dondeever Could you point to any relevant publications linking sound pollution from offshore wind turbines to whale navigation problems?

@crackkkilla Chances are it is the industrial wind turbine facility. A distance of 6 miles equates to ground zero when it comes to infrasound, as a recent Finnish study reveals. Talk with many neighbors & find out who else is affected so you have enough data to fight: syte.fi/2019/01/10/pil…

"growing turbine sizes... raised fears that the sound characteristics will shift to lower frequencies (Møller and Pedersen 2011). This should be taken seriously, because sounds with prominent infrasound (1–20 Hz)... may affect human health and well-being" researchgate.net/publication/23…

@Credalytics @Irishwildlife @IWDGnews How can they honestly call gargantuan offshore wind turbines "sustainable" or "clean?" Whoops, I forgot that bureaucrats who support these things are not educated in the schemes they propose, nor are they honest. Will Rogers once said, "We have the best politicians money can buy"

@HigginsRon Imagine a being who navigates in an echolocation frequency range (20 to 200 kHz) and then suddenly finds their watery world filled with that same frequency? A bit confusing to say the least. Comparable to an instrument pilot flying blind in IMC who gets bombarded by false signals

@HigginsRon The sound frequency of whale vocalization generally ranges from 20 Hz to 24 kHz. Offshore wind turbines produce infrasound in that same range, yet researchers sponsored by governments who are in the back pocket of the wind industry purposely ignore or overlook that connection.
