I am baffled as to how people are arguing wind turnbines over the ocean are going to kill whales.

They’re using sonar to survey the sea floor in preparation for building wind turbines there. People are claiming that the sonar activity is what’s causing the “recent” increase in whale beaching.

…except the trend of increased beaching goes back at least 10 years, well before any wind farm related activity. And the organizations making the most noise about “those poor whales” are very clearly funded by the oil industry, who would obviously prefer that we keep burning their product instead of making electricity from wind.

These are the same people who went to Dallas awaiting the return of JFK Jr. who has been dead for 30 years.

We're not dealing with intelligence here.

These are the same people who will argue for hours, in writing, over the answer for an " order of operations" algebra problem on facebook...
