🚨BREAKING: Save LBI files petition to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale from extinction by designating its East Coast migration route as critical habitat & ban wind projects in its path. Without action, this iconic species won’t survive.
To support this initiative, please write to the White House and the following officials, and ask other like-minded persons and organizations to do the same. https://t.co/w4BY53CqwS

Really?! "These giant installations are infamous for high bird mortality rates due to collisions with rotating blades."

[Wind Concerns @WindConcernsONT]

At least they admit wind turbines kill birds...
Scientists dressed a wind turbine like a poison frog in red, yellow, and black, and birds treated the spinning warning colors like a giant “keep out” sign—an experiment that could help save millions of lives https://t.co/wF9k3khVeX

Almost all the reinforced concrete foundations of wind turbines ever built — weighing up to a thousand tonnes each — could be left in the ground.

The concrete may be mostly inert, but over the decades, these blocks can disrupt deep-soil hydrology and remain as permanent industrial junk below the surface of rural landscapes.

The concrete base of a typical early 2-3 MW wind turbine weighs 400 to 800 tonnes. But the foundations of the even bigger, more recent turbines (5 MW+) can exceed 1,000 tonnes.

The number reaching the end of their working lives could soon surpass the tens of thousands. As they degrade, they also risk leaking gearbox fluids, hydraulic liquids, and synthetic lubricants into the soil. In many jurisdictions, decommissioning regulations only require the operator to clear the foundation to a depth of 1 meter below the surface. While contracts state operators are responsible, the financial reality is complex.

Bank guarantees or bonds set aside for removal (around $100,000 per turbine) are woefully inadequate. Real-world estimates for total removal and site restoration can exceed $200,000 to $400,000 per unit.

If the cost of total removal vastly exceeds the bond, there is a strong incentive for shell companies to declare bankruptcy — leaving landowners to foot the bill.

We are already seeing this play out at Victoria's Codrington wind farm. Operators announced plans to remove only the top 1.5-meter pedestal, leaving the bulk of the project's 20,000 tonnes of subterranean foundations permanently buried.

This triggered an intense backlash from local communities and MPs who argue it violates the original promise to restore the land.

No one wants to deal with these massive concrete and steel monoliths once the turbines are decommissioned.

In 2016, the Netherlands Meteorological Institute adjusted temperatures at De Bilt, the country's main climate station.

Daily maximums from 1901 to 1950 were lowered by up to 1.9C, which removed 16 of 23 heatwaves from the record.

The altered data were then used to claim modern heatwaves were unprecedented.

Four researchers challenged the changes, but the institute dismissed the criticism, so the analysis went to peer review. In 2021, it was published, conclusively demonstrating the institute's method systematically erased historical heat extremes.

Today, the Meteorological Institute has quietly changed its approach, and as a result, seven erased heatwaves have been restored, including the extreme summer of 1947.

Here again, we have a government agency caught rewriting climate history. The Netherlands Meteorological Institute erased heatwaves of the past, ignored critics, and reinstated the truth only when the evidence became impossible to ignore.

Policies were built on that manipulated record. Dutch farmers lost livelihoods. Industry and the wider economy paid the price. But accountability is coming.

Offshore wind was supposed to LOWER NJ electric bills. The numbers say the opposite.

An independent 2024 analysis estimates Atlantic Shores South alone would increase the average NJ residential electric bill 13%—about $224 more per year.

How is that “affordable energy”? https://t.co/ka4DURKdnT

[SaveLBI @saveLBIorg]

“1000's of Jobs” they say. But where are the jobs?

Atlantic Shores says they'll create ~1,500 temporary NJ construction jobs over 2–3 years—but only ~90 operating jobs over its projected 30-year life.

A comparable nuclear investment creates ~4,000 construction jobs + 750 permanent jobs.

Facts matter. https://t.co/ka4DURKLdr
