Offshore wind energy: What's the big deal? DW 11/04/2024
Briefly

Trump’s latest claims that wind turbines cause massive property decline, kill a disproportionate number of birds and whales, or that turbine noise is linked to cancer, are either false or exaggerated, according to FactCheck.org.
Alex O'Brien, spokesperson for Responsible Future, argues that even if turbines undergo strict environmental assessments, they cannot avoid major disruptions to marine life, especially in whale migration corridors.
Patrick Simons, coordinator at Yes2Renewables, asserts that major disruptions to marine life will occur during the construction phase and can be managed to limit impacts.
Simons emphasizes that there is no evidence saying offshore wind causes harm to whales, stating that oil drilling and climate change pose greater threats to marine ecosystems.
