Another dead whale today …..

In the last month the amount of whales that died would have been 24 years worth .
So you would think with an increase of approx 300 percent more whales dying should start to be asked hard questions

Is this too much for coincidence - the govt passing a speed limit law and blaming recreational boats for dead whales. Did they foresee this happening and needed a scape goat?

Perfectly valid and probable observation.
However many of our friends and neighbors think the government doesn't lie, doesn't threaten or coerce its citizens, and wants what best for the country.

I think the ""speeding boats are killing whales, and we need it to stop"" nonsense could very well have been a preemptive strike for the media to run with... We elected the very people that are oppressing us.... bob

I think ""speeding boats are killing whales, and we need it to stop"" is an expression of concern that speeding boats are/were killing whales, but there could very well be other takes on it.

8th dead whale to wash up around N.J. likely killed by a vessel, preliminary exam shows

Yup, nothing to do with all the sonar testing, just an unprecedented amount of boat strikes during a period of decreased boat traffic. Makes perfect sense. Just ignore all that research about naval sonar and whale injuries over the last 30 years.

You been on the ocean the last few months ?
I have been every weekend , it’s a ghost town out there.
Very little ship traffic , let alone boat traffic .
But they will play that card because there are hundreds of billions of dollars riding on this project .
And it’s the worst thing we could ever allow off our coastline .
Every pilot project has failed miserably , yet they want to think a project 100 times larger will work better .

Maybe the dead whale was a crisis actor?

"Just ignore all that research about naval sonar and whale injuries over the last 30 years" and blame it on wind turbine projects started in the last couple of years.

Research it a little more . Half the companies are showing billion dollar loses .
Pilot projects here in the US didn’t last 5 years .


They also don’t produce electricity over 10 knots , and go into free spin , just creating wear and tear on the equipment .

Only thing green about them is the money that’s being stolen .

HUGE difference in on shore VS offshore applications .
