Scientist exposes anti-wind groups as oil-funded, now they want to silence him

The sudden US pivot towards actively suppressing wind energy is absolutely wild.

There are farms that are nearing completion and now are just in limbo.

I listened to the press conference the other day with Trumps cabinet meeting.

It is bizar to listen to.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed that windmills had killed 100+ whales. I tried to find out what he referred to, but couldn't find anything but articles debunking any claim that windmills affect whales (after construction).

He also claimed that the price per kWh of wind energy is above $0.30, which is quite a bit from the $0.03 ($0.12 offshore) price per kWh listed in Wikipedia [1] for United States.

At the same meeting Trump stated that the only viable solution is fossil fuel."... and maybe a little nuclear, but mostly fossil fuel.". And that wind is about 10x more expensive than natural gas (again contradicting the prices listed in the Wikipedia reference where the prices for onshore wind and natural gas are almost identical).

There are some German guidelines for building offshore windmills - how noise should be reduced - and whales should be distracted and that ramming shouldn't be too loud. Most likely this doesn't come from nothing. So 100+ whales could be true, but I think all this is related to noise from construction.
