Why do you think the whales are dying near the new windmills in the NE?

I heard a possible reason is due to the bathymetry surveying activity with low frequency sonar taking place in the area to install new windmills are causing these whales to go deaf. However this kind of ocean surveying is done around the world and we don't see these whale killing issues in other parts of the world.

What's going on?

I feel like there is more to this which you usually get called out on by page 2

Hopefully a real marine biologist can chime in. I'm really curious if there is a relationship between these windmills and the whale killings.

Maybe there is a loose neutral on the turbines?

It’s obviously the CO2 coming off the windmill blades that is responsible.

Unless we are playing the cetacean death note/frequency on the windmills, I lack the imagination to find something that could do anything.

That picture is from 2016. Even the most basic fact checking would have shown you this.

Well they've got to get the lubricating oil from Somewhere and using evil petroleum products would be the worst. thing. ever so they surely wouldn't do that.


Now they've found a new GREEN source of oil.

Are those weiners flopped out of their bellies onto the sand?

My guess would be something with resonance affecting their abilities to track and hunt

Okay, fine. That still does not address the issue. Why are these whales dying at such a high frequency.

Forget the windmills, is it not weird for 2 whales to get beached so close together it looks like they’re spooning? I mean, the tide would probably wash them ashore that close, but only if they died really close together (in both space and time), no?

And why would going deaf be an auto death sentence? If they had no sonar or whatever, that would make them more susceptible to being killed by potential predators (orcas or bigger sharks) or running into boats or other things they may not be able to detect, but what are these actually dying from? Starvation from being unable to detect food? What’s the theory on what happens after the deafness?
