    So just s few whales eh? All to attend to a non existent climate emergency. You appear incapable of thinking, Tony. This may have a peripheral connection with climate issues, but much more to do with concerns of
    effects on whales, and a possible disruption to shipping traffic. Many
    ships across the channel could be in real danger if whale travel
    changes. The ability to generate electricity and to find oil are both
    very important to the UK - even more so with the Russia / Ukraine war affecting normal supplies of Russian oil. Generating electricity from
    wind power, including turbines placed off shore has been an important development to the UK, and Scotland in particular. The article did not
    give any implication that these developments may only affect a few
    whales; your comprehension regrettably yet again appears to be
    deficient.

    The lack of thought is as usual all yours Rich! They were talking about the USA ffs!

    You have posted this to nz.general; presumably you are concerned that decisions you express concerns about for the UK have some relevance
    here. We do have whales that could be disturbed by off-shore turbines;
    that needs to be considered here, and we could well be concerned if
    tourist operations in some areas are disturbed, but there are likely
    to be many other places that turbines that could be put with little disruption to tourism or to coastal shipping, but we may be more
    concerned about any effects on fishing within our sea boundaries.

    New Zealand is moving towards as much independence from fossil fuels
    as possible, which makes sense where we can generate power more
    efficiently than purchasing from other countries.

    Just flat out working on running out of landfill in about twenty years!

    Regardless of your ignorant prejudices, there may well be good value
    to New Zealand from understanding all the implications of seeking to
    use off-shore based wind-power to meeting our growing energy needs,
    but I doubt you are either capable or inclined to think further ahead
    than the next few months . . ..

    You love pushing the left agenda Rich. Why not just put the money into geothermal? Makes more sense than having to rely on the wind blowing!
    The ignorant prejudice is as usual yours Rich!

    Whale travel/migration is unlikley to alter unless the food supplies alter.

    From the article

    "The proposed offshore wind megaproject is to line the Atlantic coast with dozens of huge wind “farms”. These monster wind facilities are directly adjacent to one of the world’s heaviest traffic shipping corridors.
    This corridor is named the M-95 because it parallels I-95, America’s
    heaviest traffic interstate highway."

    It is not a few whales which are affected. It is a great number which are
    going to be injuded or killed. In effect we are now going to have open
    season on killing whales.

    The ability to generate electricity and to find oil are both

    Thanks for that link Tony. I was aware that whales have difficultly with the ships propellers messy with their sonar but if wind farms do much the same thing then it once again a matter of taking this into account. It is hardly green energy if the whales are injured and killed.

    Then there is https://watch.adh.tv/videos/save-the-nation-friday-28-october-2022
    which tells us that we are damaging the enviornment with the wind tubine and solar panels shedding nasty chemicals. 4min in. Once again this is hardly
    green energy.

    few is concerning, but that if it affects fish as well it needs
    further consideration if they are to be used for New Zealand

    Get back on topic and stop making personal attacks about those smarter and more honest than you Rich!


    The ability to generate electricity and to find oil are both
    very important to the UK - even more so with the Russia / Ukraine war
    affecting normal supplies of Russian oil.

    The are in Ukraine will be over bfore the climate scam is put to into >history. Please keep the distraction away.
    The war is affecting planning in the UK now for an expansion of wind turbines

    The article isn't about the UK! The Ukraine war isn't even mentioned!!


    Generating electricity from
    wind power, including turbines placed off shore has been an important
    development to the UK, and Scotland in particular. The article did not
    give any implication that these developments may only affect a few
    whales; your comprehension regrettably yet again appears to be
    deficient.

    Once again, it is many wind farms over huge areas on migration whale routes. That may well be the case in the UK; I am concerned that these matters
    need to be considered for developments being considered for New
    Zealand.

    The article isn't about what's happening in the UK you comprehensionless imbecile! It\s about USA!

    You have posted this to nz.general; presumably you are concerned that
    decisions you express concerns about for the UK have some relevance
    here.

    Correct. It is the same planet we are on.
    Thank you Gordon - Tony gets somewhat anal about posts that are not
    directly linked to New Zealand - unless he posts about events overseas
    . . .

    We do have whales that could be disturbed by off-shore turbines;
    that needs to be considered here, and we could well be concerned if
    tourist operations in some areas are disturbed, but there are likely
    to be many other places that turbines that could be put with little
    disruption to tourism or to coastal shipping, but we may be more
    concerned about any effects on fishing within our sea boundaries.

    New Zealand is moving towards as much independence from fossil fuels
    as possible, which makes sense where we can generate power more
    efficiently than purchasing from other countries.

    Regardless of your ignorant prejudices, there may well be good value
    to New Zealand from understanding all the implications of seeking to
    use off-shore based wind-power to meeting our growing energy needs,
    but I doubt you are either capable or inclined to think further ahead
    than the next few months . . ..

    This is exactly what the people who are raising the "anti" points.
    Not sure what you mean by that, Gordon - - anti could refer to whales, fishing, the UK, or electricity generation. There appears to be
    little connection to climate change.

    What is your fixation on bringing the UK into this thread Rich? Just your typical distraction in a vain and pointless attack on Tony?! Or is it that as usual you haven't got a clue what you're burbling about!
    Oh and you seem to have failed to comprehend the article has nothing to do with climate change but attacks your pet bee in bonnet wind farms!
