Offshore Wind Decimating Sea Life—Fishermen Accuse Biden-Harris Admin Of Cover-Up

Wind

With the support of the US government, the wind industry is killing whales and other sea life and ignoring warnings from marine biologists.

Over the last three years, we have been documenting the ecological catastrophe quietly unfolding on the East Coast. With the support of the US government, the wind industry is killing whales and other sea life. [emphasis, links added]

If nothing changes, the wind industry will make the North Atlantic right whale go extinct.

It turns out the situation was even worse than we had imagined.

Over the last six months, investigative reporter Donna Andersen interviewed dozens of fishermen, government officials, and scientists and has uncovered a scandal in plain sight: the wind industry is destroying the fishing industry.

People are taking notice. Just today, the New York Times published an article documenting growing resistance by the fishing industry.

Why now? In part because of the recent collapse of a giant wind turbine blade off the coast of Massachusetts, which scattered jagged pieces of fiberglass along the beaches of Nantucket, threatening the boats of fishermen and local tourists.

Please take a moment to read Donna’s outstanding investigation below!

When the offshore wind developers came to his ocean, James “Ace” Auteri, a commercial fisherman for 50 years, did his best to cooperate.

Auteri is a pot fisherman. He caught sea bass in pots eight miles southwest of his home port of Montauk, New York. Thirty miles to the east, near Block Island, Rhode Island, he caught lobsters.

The South Fork Wind Farm, with 12 turbines located 19 miles southeast of Block Island, was completed on Mar. 24.

Now electric power flows through a high-voltage export cable for 66 miles and comes ashore in East Hampton, New York.

The cable passes right through both of Auteri’s longtime fishing grounds.

So far this year, the sea bass fishing is okay. But lobsters? “There are no signs of life at all,” Auteri said.

Commercial fishermen all around Block Island are telling similar stories. Ever since the wind farms came to the ocean, lobsters have been hard to find. Formerly productive scallop beds are dead. Cod has disappeared.
