🚨BREAKING: Save LBI files petition to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale from extinction by designating its East Coast migration route as critical habitat & ban wind projects in its path. Without action, this iconic species won’t survive. To support this initiative, please write to the White House and the following officials, and ask other like-minded persons and organizations to do the same. savelbi.org Douglas Burgum, Secretary Department of the Interior 1849 C Street, NW, MS-4106 Washington D.C. 20240 EMAIL: Interior_Press@ios.doi.gov Howard Lutnick, Secretary Commerce Department 1401 Constitution Ave, NW Washington D.C. 20230 EMAIL: publicaffairs@doc.gov

Failed offshore wind projects have cost NJ millions—while delivering exactly ZERO energy to our grid. 📉 ​Yet, Trenton bureaucrats still hold the power to steamroll our towns and force these expensive projects through. ​That’s why I just introduced #A5002. ​This bill fights back against state overreach by stripping away special privileges for offshore wind and restoring local control and home rule back to our coastal communities. ​Our towns know what’s best for their own backyards. Let’s put decision-making power back where it belongs: with the people. ​Track the bill here ➡️ njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/20…#NJPol #HomeRule #SaveOurCoast

Whatever happened to the real environmentalists who cared about our forests, lakes & wildlife? Floating solar farms on NY's magnificent lakes?! This one is worse than @GovKathyHochul's offshore wind scam!
Alex Fasulo@alex_fasulo

I’m not sure you all understand how blindly and dangerously compromised by the green energy lobby the representatives in the NYS legislature are. @MarkWalczyk reported that Senate Democrats have moved this bill out of the Energy Committee. It’s advancing. The green energy lobby needs these bills to advance so they can collect subsidies and credits. A percentage of subsidies and credits they earn are then paid back to the politicians in the form of lobbying money to push unreliable infrastructure that’s going to poison the environment. Placing Chinese-manufactured and PFAS-coated panels over bodies of water and reservoirs has obvious consequences. Some not so obvious consequences: reduced sunlight entering the water, changes to aquatic plant growth and algae dynamics, oxygen and temperature changes in the water column, habitat disruption for birds, fish, amphibians, and insects, plastic float degradation over long periods, and visual and recreational impacts. These politicians never, ever consider habitat impacts for any of these dystopian credit-grabbing projects. Yet they claim this is for the environment. The public needs to wake up to what you are witnessing here - and soon. These politicians will poison all of Upstate NY if we allow them to.

@alex_fasulo MUST-SEE VIDEO Engineers at U. of Minnesota record wind turbine infrasound youtu.be/OHl_0s4qqUY?si… With falling snow acting as a screen, it's possible to SEE the footprints of infrasound (sound pressure waves at frequencies WAY below hearing range). There's no denying it now.

The DOE energy cost assessments often quoted in policy fail to include a variety of expenses that lead to rising energy costs for Maine consumers. What other states have misleading assessments while they continue building offshore wind farms?tinyurl.com/mr2wfa27

“A coalition led by New Jersey-based nonprofit Save Long Beach Island filed suit this week in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., accusing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of failing to respond to a petition seeking expanded federal habitat protections for the migratory whales." #EndangeredSpecies #EndangeredSpeciesDay @saveLBIorg tinyurl.com/54f8uhpz

The evidence continues to grow: offshore wind development is not without environmental consequences. It’s time to wake up, pay attention, and protect our oceans before the damage becomes irreversible. @SecretaryBurgum @epaleezeldin @Congressman_JVD
NE Fishermen's Stewardship Assoc.@fishstewardship

Offshore wind advocates claim these turbines are cleaner for the environment, but ignore the lasting consequences this green energy scam will have on our oceans.

Is it sound strategy to move more of our electric infrastructure offshore—where it is exposed, isolated, and difficult to defend?

@njcoast_protect Seals can't 'hear' the hum of the land over the low emission hum of the turbines. The wind turbine people know this, from studies in Germany, and now in the UK. We knew 25 years ago, pups are born next to turbines and drown, their moms can't find shore. jasonendfield.medium.com/latest-uk-data…

Major wind turbine manufacturers have been hit by an asbestos scandal. At Australia's $4 billion Golden Plains wind farm, testing on turbines has come back positive. Units are now quarantined and the manufacturer, based in Denmark, is launching global checks across its supply chain. Serious environmental concerns are mounting. Wind blades can't be recycled, not economically or at scale. So tens of thousands of tons of blades are dumped every year, buried in pits with endless more coming as first-generation turbines hit their end of life (which is typically just 15 years). An industry sold as clean is leaving mountains of toxic waste that can't be recycled.

The world will have to deal with 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades by Net Zero in 2050. To put that in perspective, it’s the equivalent weight of 215,000 locomotives. These blades are made of high-strength composites designed to survive decades of brutal weather, and they are notoriously difficult to recycle. They were built to last, but they weren't built to disappear. Every turbine standing today will likely be decommissioned and replaced at least once before 2050. Without a cost-effective way to recycle fibre-reinforced polymers, the majority of these massive blades are destined for eternity - buried forever in turbine graveyards. China, Europe, and the US will account for the vast majority of this waste, creating a mountainous industrial heartache that many Net Zero models simply haven't priced in. But 43 million tons of purely composite blade waste every 20 years is a colossal physical reality.
