Offshore Wind Farms Kill Whales - David Blackmon is Angry About That
And to be honest, I'm pretty peeved, too.
Remember when environmentalists loved, well, the environment? I sure do, and my eminent guest David Blackmon shares my same memory. Because at least so far as whales are concerned, it’s no longer “environmental” to worry about human actions killing whales. True story!
In today's episode of Bizarre Leftist Hypocrisy, we find the doyens of the environmental movement so befuddled that they're swearing allegiance to oceanic wind farms which are killing whales by the dozens. David Blackmon came on the show as a follow up to the interview he did with Meghan Lapp, Fisheries Liaison for Seafreeze Shoreside. I will not steal the thunder from that interview, which I urge you to watch at The Energy Question Episode 65 but will summarize her findings to let all the ocean- and whale-lovers out there that all these massive wind turbines and their associated construction and infrastructure are absolutely killing whales.
We'll be offering for sale soon some Messy Times Save the Whales - Ban Offshore Wind Farms bumper stickers. In keeping with the Big Environmental Win brought about in the 1970s by such memorable bumper art as "Nuke the Gay Baby Whales for Jesus!," we at @MessyTimes and @davidblackmon6807 hope to drive a - pardon me - sea change in attitudes about the Energy Absurdity Church ruining our world.
Listen in!
Lunatics are killing the whales while pretending otherwise and are gaslighting the living bejesus out of all of us.
I like whales. I don’t much care one way or another about offshore wind farms. Seems like a simple choice to me, but what do I know? I’m made of carbon, mainly, so am not afraid of a little more of what I am made of circulating in the atmosphere.
