THE MORNING RANT: Thar She Blows! Killing Whales for Energy is Cool Again
Nothing should surprise me anymore, but the left’s enthusiastic embrace of whale-killing in service to energy production is not something I would have believed possible a few decades ago. The $100 Billion Offshore Wind Industry Has a Whale Problem, Dead Whales Keep Washing Up on the US Atlantic Coast [Bloomberg – 02/18/2023]
The offshore wind industry has a 40-ton problem on its hands. Since early December, close to two dozen large whales have washed up on or near beaches on the US Atlantic coast…
It’s unclear what exactly is fueling the deaths, but an unlikely coalition of wind opponents, local environmental groups and conservative talk show hosts have zeroed in on offshore wind as the culprit.Per Steve Milloy in a New York Sun article titled License To Kill Whales:
The deaths are coincident, however, with an increase in activity by the offshore wind industry as it surveys locations to erect its turbines. These surveys include seismic testing that involves bouncing sounds off the bottom of the ocean. It is possible that these sounds impair sound-sensitive whales and dolphins in such a way that deaths can result.Environmental activists have historically opposed offshore seismic testing by the US Navy and by oil companies, because of the impact of the testing on whales. No longer…now the greens have an almost sick passion for killing birds and marine mammals as an offering to their angry climate God. Although the official government position is that wind turbines don’t kill marine mammals, the government has authorized the wind industry to kill whales, seals, and dolphins as “incidental harassment.”
A currently proposed permit would allow New Jersey-based offshore wind developer Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, L.P., a partnership of foreign-owned wind companies, to kill 42 whales, 2,678 dolphins, and 1,472 seals.Among these whales are some listed as endangered by the Endangered Species Act, including up to three North Atlantic Right Whales. This is the same whale species whose plight is being used by environmentalists in their efforts to cripple the Maine lobster industry. Here is a snippet of the proposed permit, including its generous allowance of up to 24 dead Minke whales.
Milloy also points out that this is not the only such permit.
There are others already issued with more on the way. Each one allows for the killing of dozens of whales and thousands of dolphins and seals. And all this permitted killing is just for the survey phase of construction. There is the actual erection of wind turbines, and their operations and maintenance still to come.All these cetaceans will die for an unreliable source of energy that must still be backed up by reliable carbon or nuclear energy. Of course, whales were once a prominent source of energy in our nation’s history. It’s gross and ironic that our ruling class has embraced whale killing as an acceptable sacrifice in their quest to eliminate the carbon-based fuels that replaced whale oil in the first place. New England Whaling in the Nineteenth Century [Yale University – Energy History]
Before petroleum-derived lamp oils like kerosene became readily available in the 1860s, people lit their homes with energy derived from seed or animal fats. Among these options, whale oil - especially that taken from sperm whales - produced a clean, bright flame with no smell. In the long winters of Boston, New York, Providence and other eastern cities, whale-fueled lamps lit homes and factory floors, streetlamps and the headlights of trains, and guided ships home from lighthouses.
Those who are too young to remember the late 20th Century might not realize what a huge cultural phenomenon “Save the Whales” was. The USA banned commercial whaling in the early 1970s, and by the 1980s Norway and Japan were vilified for their reluctance to submit to an international moratorium on whaling. “Save the Whales” bumper stickers were ubiquitous, with those on the political left particularly animated about the cause. It should be noted that unlike the whales currently being killed as “incidental harassment” in the production of boutique wind energy, whales that were commercially harvested were actually consumed, not just left to rot on a beach. The folks at the Heartland Institute and CFACT (Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow) are pulling out the old “Save the Whales” playbook in the battle against unreliable wind energy, by putting up billboards and flying banners over East Coast beach towns. It’s getting some national attention. Conservative Watchdogs Highlight ‘Alarming’ Surge in Whale Deaths as Wind Farms Grow Off NY, NJ Coasts [NY Post – 4/23/2023]
Conservative watchdog groups ran a guerrilla-style ad campaign on the Jersey Shore for Earth Day, drawing attention to a surge in whale deaths amid the growth of offshore wind farms.
Beachgoers in Atlantic City on Saturday looked on as a single-propeller plane carried a message waving from a banner — “SAVE-WHALES-STOP-WINDMILLS.ORG” — and drivers heading out of town saw a billboard with the same message and a picture of a dead whale washed ashore.
“’Damn the whales, full speed ahead’ seems to be the official policy of the Biden administration when it comes to the construction of offshore wind,” [CFACT President Craig] Rucker said in a statement. “The White House seems to remain unfazed and fixated on implementing its reckless ‘net zero’ energy agenda.”Steve Milloy is also quoted in this article, stating “It’s gone from ‘Save the Whales’ to ‘Kill the Whales.’ And the green groups that have promoted Earth Day for 53 years are totally okay with this agenda.”
Killing whales, dolphins, and seals in service to the climate hoax is heartbreaking and grotesque. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

There is a long, rich history of the enviro-lefitsts ignoring widespread whale slaughter. Whales were hunted nearly to extinction in the middle of the last century. Why? Surely it's those vicious Japanese whalers, right? Or maybe it's the dollar-chasing Americans and their industry?
No. It was the USSR. Whale oil was a valuable commodity, especially pre-60s. The 5 year plans had whaling quotas. The Soviet fishermen met those quotas. The quotas increased. There was no reason to increase them, but the goal was met and so it was raised. The whale oil demand in the 5 year plans had to be met. So the Soviet fisherman went wider and wider to sea to kill the whales. They would kill whales just to record the kill, tossing the carcasses back into the sea.
Eventually the planners in the USSR questioned the whaling policy and quit. Then the populations recovered. Only after the USSR quit did "save the whales" crap come to America, to be used as a wedge like everything else.

Biden’s Offshore Wind Push Faces New Headwind — Massive Turbines Breaking Down
Offshore wind turbines, a key component of President Joe Biden’s push for more renewable energy are facing significant hurdles in both maintenance and construction as the industry continues to grow their size, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
These massive turbines, the next generation of which are expected to be more than 900 feet tall
and generate 15 megawatts (MW) of electricity, enough to power a small town, suffer from a far greater rate of component failure than their smaller counterparts, the WSJ reported, citing data from renewable energy insurer GCube.
While smaller turbines on the scale of 4 to 8 megawatts tend to have failures after five years in service, larger turbines typically see failures after just one year.

The article (probably The Sun) was weirdly phrased and misleading: it's Tuesday Morning that is closing; it's just the article had a masthead photo of a Dollar Tree (!?) and described Tuesday Morning as a 'Dollar Tree competitor'. Weird article and weird way to present it.
Also, I shop Dollar Tree/$1.25 all the time, and Tuesday Morning was NEVER a competitor. Way too upscale. I think maybe the article was written by someone who has never, ever been in any kind of dollar/discount store in their entire life.

The dolphins were fun and playful, and surprisingly warm (yes, they are mammals but it was still surprising to touch them for the first time).
But that killer whale. Whoa. You don't realize how big it is, and the size of the jaws and teeth, until you get right up next to it. When that monster was circling beneath you in the water . . . combination of extreme adrenaline rush and shit-your-pants fear. Not sure I'd do it now.

The environmental movement has *always* been a leftist front, since its inception. It is not and never has been about the environment. The real goal was always political and social revolution. Always.
The environmentalists took what came before it - the conservationist movement, which is about not wantonly destroying nature without cause, preserving it where you feasibly can, and balancing protection against the needs of man (you know - the thing that gave us the national parks) - and then subverted it, rebranded it, killed the original objective and used it as another front in the revolutionary conflict.

One of the streets leading into my neighborhood have two of them. The houses are neighbors. Both have Ukraine flag signs in their yards, and have since shortly after the war started.
The worse for wear now, weather-beaten and degrading - but neither person will remove them. I think they're in conflict with each other about who will be the first to break.

So, are their witnesses? I'm just saying there have been a rash of people falling, jumping off of buildings in RUssia, and those people just happened to be enemies of Putin. Also there was a multi millionaire who jumped off his building in LA during covid because he was lonely supposedly - Steven Bing. As far as I know, you normally only see multi millionaires doing that if they have financial, legal or health issues. No evidence of that for him. Although he might have been kind of Epsteinish.

I am okay with the idea of it, a lot of farmers use solar and wind for stuff like powering a barn, etc. But huge farms of gigantic turbines that provide pretty weak energy return, need hugely expensive maintenance and don't have a very long life span.
In theory, they are designed to last 20-30 years but in practice they do not, and some conditions just destroy them. Also, after 10 years of testing they found that the efficiency drops off rapidly, and parts need replacing within a decade.
Also, while advocates claim they cost nothing to run, they actually have an operating cost of around 25 dollars per milliwatt hour because of worn components, replacement oil, etc.

They'll always be first for electricity, have installed their geo-thermal systems for power, & have preserved areas to their benefit, cheaply, whether for recreation, sport, food or simply the hell of it and possible future expansion.
They claim 30% of our land and water will be conserved for "America the Beautiful." They're already conserving and preserving the nicest areas quickly & restoring wildlife they deem appropriate. Much of it is or will, in fact, be barriers, prettier than barricades, fences, and walls.
They're also erecting corridors, parks and recreation, and jobs that will rewards certain groups for productivity &, in reality, staying in their own lanes.

It is part of the leftist religion that people can wish things into existence, that they can "manifest" reality by believing things really hard and living as if they are true. They also believe in this stupid quasi-karma idea where "the universe" will respond positively and give you things if you Do The Right Things.
So even if it makes no sense, is not scientific, does not work, and is proven to be a failure, they still push for it because it will all work out in the end if you just believe hard enough, like bringing Tinkerbell back to life.

No clue, but I'm betting Mooch was the inspiration for the term 'Moose knuckle'.

Don't get me wrong. Wind turbines are stupid and useless, and offshore ones are stupid squared. And the very premise that we "need" such things is stupid.
But I don't want to see marine seismic surveying banned simply because it is currently being used to advance a stupid agenda. It is a very useful technique for offshore oil exploration, which can yield huge supplies of energy, reliably.

Add to that the historical family NIMBY to offshore windmills, and this is a topic that will hard for him to avoid. I think the whales have found their candidate.

However, even in August 2019, pre-C19 of course, USA Today had an article entitled, Here are some of the USA's most endangered species, and it included -
The Bryde's whale, about 40 left in the Gulf of Mexico, was "in danger of extinction throughout all of its range due to its small population size and restricted range, and the threats of energy exploration, development and production, oil spills and oil spill response, vessel collision, fishing gear entanglement, and human-caused noise," according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Also, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the world’s most endangered large whale species, with only about 400 whales remaining, NOAA said. "Entanglement in fishing lines attached to gillnets and traps on the ocean floor is one of the greatest threats" to the animal, along with vessel strikes and ocean noise. Underwater noise pollution interrupts the normal behavior of right whales and interferes with their communication.
What changed & how?

There is zero evidence that offshore wind development has ever killed even one whale
Most whale death seem to have been caused by humans Interaction either ship strikes or entanglements.
Offshore wind contract contract price to sell power is less than 9 cents per kWh
What do you pay?

From what I've seen, those are predominantly abandoned vehicles where crews left the hatches open and didn't destroy the vehicle. Doesn't seem to be a "serious thing" in terms of turning the tide of a battle. Possibly, it denies recovery and repair (by both sides). I've seen quite a few videos of them being used against dug in troops, but not during what appears to be a battle. Seems more like harassmement.
