We don't need unreliable off-shore wind that kills eagles, bats, whales and other marine life and has a negligible impact on carbon emissions. What we need, are on-shore, reliable, energy-dense solutions. The way to change the tide is to lobby for ending subsidies and tax breaks for these so-called 'renewables,' since they are not competitive in a truly free market. Meanwhile, the lawsuits from Save LBI and others are a good way to slow these monstrosities down.

PS I believe a lot of these subsidies were written into the inflation reduction act, IRA.

In my opinion, the best way to stop these ill-conceived monstrosities is in a court of law. The more lawsuits, the better. Thank goodness Save LBI is leading the way.

I am in no way discouraging the lawsuits. As your reference to the Inflation Reduction Act suggests, lawmakers have not really helped to protect marine life so far, so the bet on the judicial as the only at least partially functional branch of government may be a good one.

Where are our legislators? I know Jeff Van Drew has spoken out against these horrors coming to our shores but there is no news coverage outside of the occasional loclocal news story about a whale stranding Murphy is just all about Murphy and I haven't heard a word from him We just have to keep mitigating them but they have deep pockets and now the Biden aadministration has given them the Green Light

Glad to see someone doing the real science for so-called green energy. These turbines are always stuck where there is wind which is where the birds fly. They have been kiling large numbers of birds and now they are killong fish and whales.
