Democrats Are ‘Saving the Environment’ by Killing Whales   Andrew Stiles

January 18, 2023 – NJ governor refuses to halt wind farm project linked to seven whale deaths since December

Seven dead whales have washed up on the New York-New Jersey coastline since December, prompting calls for Gov. Phil Murphy (D., N.J.) to halt development on a number of offshore wind farms in the area. He refused.

“No, I don’t think so,” Murphy said last week when asked if developers should stop pre-construction of wind turbines, which some whale-lovers have blamed for the spate of deaths.

How did they die?

We don’t know. State and federal agencies are investigating the deaths, but pro-whale organizations have expressed concern that pre-construction activity, specifically use of sonar to map the ocean floor, is traumatizing the whales and other marine life in the area.
