Are Windmills Killing Whales?

Trump says windmills are killing whales. Do you believe him?

If you're a Trump supporter, you have an obligation to find scientific evidence supporting Trump's statement. It's like when his supporters were forced to find proof that a hurricane was threatening Alabama.

If regulating and restricting windmills can possibly save the life of just one whale we should take bold action. :rofl:

Simutronics needs those whales!

Wind farm generators are very well documented to have devastating affects on wildlife (particularly birds, migratory birds in particular). They also affect local flora as well and localized environments. I've not heard anything about the ocean wind farms, but I'd not be surprised if it was the case there as well.

It's all an equation. Do we want "clean" energy (or any energy for that matter) for humankind's betterment, or do we want to save the flora and fauna affected by power generating facilities? I've never seen any form of energy that is so clean it affects nothing. Even the geothermal stuff in Iceland generates CO2 (at 3% the levels of traditional fossil fuel generators).

I personally love my AC, hot water and driving across country without having to desperately search for an electric charging station.

Gee, that google search took about 8 seconds because I am a slow typist.
