Will Offshore Wind Harm Marine Life?

Scene taken from Episode 2 of The Maine Reset. Featuring Patrice McCarron of the Maine Lobstermen's Association as well as Jason Joyce, Maine lobsterman.

It's like screaming into the abyss, everyone's been brainwashed that wind = good.

Yea, the solution shouldn't be worse than the problem itself. This is very disturbing as when the ocean is unhealthy. It DOES EFECT the earth &EVERYTHING living on it. INCLUDING US. The ocean provides half of the air we breathe and without whales it affects everything else down to phytoplankton which is how the sun absorbs most of our all carbon generated on earth. (more than trees even.) These offshore wind farms are being installed in all our oceans worldwide !! 😮 We are alive because of an ecosystem that provides LIFE through energy flows. Renewables my ass !! This must be stopped.

I would recommend interviewing scientists like marine biologists, climatologists and oceanologists. It would be nice to hear from people who have done studies and present peer-reviewed data to back up their claims.

[@lyndsey5547]

The destruction by the wind industry and associated infrastructure is unbelievable and it is backed by our governments who chuck our money at the wind developers/operators.

[@jayedatredes2890]

The same could be said about the oil and coal industry. Heck, governments even go to war over oil.

[@lobstersgonewild]

Very well spoken about the Marine Ecosystem Jason Joyce

[@DannySchneible]

Wind power is not the answer. So expensive to build and maintain. How does it compare to deep sea rigs, eco damage in exchange for energy?

[@jayedatredes2890]

Massive oil spills? 😂😂😂

[@JGalegria]

Exactly. Greenpeace has a big campaign on the noise of gas exploration on sea mammals but are quiet as a mouse on Offshore wind

[@jeromemorris2700]

Kick the studies down the road. Typically a big business outlook on anything.

[@theresabandkau4952]

The gulf of Maine is beautiful. I was very lucky to see whales and the right whale less than 300 in the world. Humans are just killing our world and ourselves.

[@joannesweeney9424]

It is hard to believe that this is happening, what happened to logic?

[@anthonycarino8683]

Money.

[@jayedatredes2890]

Logic would suggest that underwater military SONAR arrays are disrupting the natural SONAR of the whales. Think about it.

[@jeffrey9075]

This video shows that humanity is doomed

[@MrMarkpark]

Damn!

[@chuckbarhorst3921]

whales are dropping like flies off New Jersey coast but no one is reacting!

[@annetteslife]

I heard this is the reason why the Orcas are sinking yachts almost killing p

[@chris7brook]

YES!☠️☠️☠️

[@wesleychapman8842]

Well look at the whales

[@humanoverlord6708]

90 percent of the Humpback whale population have signs/ injuries of fishing gear entanglements.

[@mandsc4120]

Move forward and get information later. Seems to be the way the world goes now. Nothing is logical anymore.

[@tobin440]

Same goes for the aquaculture

[@kevini4295]

The problem is that we need energy and no solution is perfect. The US needs to be energy independent. Energy independence requires a multi-pronged approach, not one source. The energy producers cannot have it their way 100% of the time and the same with environmentalists.

[@kristalwaldron4911]

yeah, so close all the pipelines...

[@theresabandkau4952]

We could be energy independent of the dementia patient would allow the drilling. Wind is never going to do the trick. But if you would like to live by one be my guest. You can endure sleepless nights due to the low frequency noise they emit.

[@kskufan]

No the siesmic activity generated by Big oil is not worth it. Nucleur power prib best. Honestly if you think about it.
