The media say Trump lied when he told Joe Rogan that industrial wind turbines are killing whales, but he didn't. In fact, it's worse than Trump said. If the wind industry continues with its boats, noise, and vibrations, it will make the North Atlantic right whale extinct.
This isn't a matter of opinion. This is the conclusion of the world's leading whale researchers and what the boat tracking data and sonar data both show.
The evidence is in this documentary, "Thrown To the Wind," below, with all supporting data and research here:

The reason the media are spreading disinformation about the killing of whales by the industrial wind industry is because they are paid to do so.

Wind energy companies and their foundations have donated nearly $4.7 million to at least three dozen donations to major environmental organizations. @LinowesLisa has made public a report and a database documenting the conflicts-of-interest she discovered.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, a granting organization, took up to $1 million from wind energy companies Avangrid and Shell, and then distributed it to other environmental groups. In August 2020, the National Audubon Society received a $200,000 grant from the New England Forest and Rivers Fund.
The same year, the Nature Conservancy received a $165,218 grant from the New England Forest and Rivers Fund. The Nature Conservancy has supported offshore wind since at least 2021.
NJ Audubon has partnered with wind farm developer Atlantic Shores, a joint venture between Shell Oil and EDF Renewables. Ocean Wind, another wind energy developer, has sponsored NJ Audubon’s World Series of Birding event multiple times.
The wind industry has also made hefty donations to scientific organizations:
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute received a donation of $500,000 from Ørsted in or after 2018. Woods Hole has endorsed offshore wind since at least 2019.
The New England Aquarium received a donation pledge of $250,000 in 2018 from Bay State Wind. In 2019, Vineyard Wind donated an undisclosed amount to the Aquarium. Similarly, in 2020 offshore wind developer Equinor, was cited as a donor in the Aquarium’s annual report. The Aquarium has supported offshore wind since at least 2021.
In October 2020, Mystic Aquarium featured an exhibit promoting offshore wind. In June 2021, Ørsted and Revolution Wind donated $1,250,000 to Mystic Aquarium to create new pro-offshore wind exhibits, but also to research the effects of offshore wind turbines on marine mammals and sea turtles.

The wind industry is decimating sea life and destroying the fishing industry of the East Coast.

The Wall Street Journal was paid to greenwash industrial wind turbines by the wind companies that are in the process of making the North Atlantic right whale extinct. 
Both UK and US governments and the wind industry have been covering up the role of industrial wind in causing huge increases in whale and other cetacean deaths.
For years, the industry, governments, and media said the industry's ear-splitting noises weren't hurting cetaceans. Then, BBC in 2023 said there was a solution to the noise: "bubble curtains." But if noise wasn't a problem, why the curtains?
Preventing a whale species from going extinct should be the highest priority of every environmentalist. The fact that it's not proves the fraudulence of today's environmentalists, who are making a species extinct in exchange for filthy lucre.

Shame on all of these purveyors of disinformation for their contribution to the killing of whales and the potential extinction of the North Atlantic right whale:
— Wind corporations, including Orsted, GE, and Siemens Energy, with a direct interest in building the East Coast wind farms, funded several news media organizations directly, including the Associated Press, the Baltimore Sun, Bloomberg, Axios, Financial Times, Huffington Post, Insider NJ, the NJ Spotlight, the New York Times, Politico, Reuters, the Guardian, Time Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.
— Public contacted 17 news media companies for this investigation, and nine responded. Several companies told Public that accepting money from the renewables industry was consistent with the practices of other media organizations and that their “ethics and values” sections delineate clear firewalls between the advertising and editorial departments.
— The Guardian designed Orsted’s paid advertisements to look like Guardian News content in a 12-part, two-year-long branded content project called “Power of Green.” The project involved a “multimedia execution [that] leveraged a variety of formats including an animated explainer video, an interactive experience, an infinite scroll immersive journey, and feature articles.”
— The New York Times published an interactive article about how the wind industry has grown and how Orsted is at the forefront of the movement. One paid post read, “Transitioning to renewable energy will not only lead to a cleaner planet — it’ll also be vital for economic growth”;
— The Washington Post published sponsored content for Avangrid, Siemens, and Chevron and ran an article headlined “An Ideal Setting for Offshore Wind Technology” and “The Value of Offshore Wind”;
— Reuters held an Offshore Wind conference that was sponsored by a number of energy companies, including Siemens Energy, National Grid Ventures, and Shell;
— In July 2021, Axios hosted a virtual event called Energy Forward: The Future of Alternative Energy, sponsored by GE, which has a major wind energy division, and featured the former CEO of GE Renewable Energy as a panelist;
— The Baltimore Sun’s expansive paid post in partnership with Orsted claims, “Our Future will be Powered by Wind,” has a special pull-out box, “Preserve Marine Life,” which claims that industrial offshore wind projects will serve as “marine preservation areas”; — Bloomberg’s sponsors include wind industry component makers, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Siemens, and Cisco;
— The Financial Times published sponsored content for Vestas, EDP Renewables, Hekel, Fujitsu Global, and ENI. One FT article headline read, “Renewables drive stronger returns. It’s time to redirect investment.” The “partner content,” as FT calls it, was sponsored by Vestas, the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturer; Huffington Post produced a sponsored article for NRG Energy in 2014;
— Insider NJ had a paid contract with PSE&G and published “sponsored content” headlined, “An Environmentally Responsible Plan to Bring Clean Offshore Wind Energy to New Jersey,” which claimed that “construction activities will be timed to avoid impacts on endangered species, such as the North Atlantic Right Whale, which migrates along the Jersey shore each year”;
— Orsted and PSE&G help fund NJ Spotlight News;
— Politico published sponsored content from Enbridge, Orsted, Polska Grupa Energetycza, and Equinor;
— Time Magazine published sponsored content for ABB Energy Industries, which has a wind energy division;
— The Wall Street Journal published sponsored content from Vineyard Wind, Iberdrola, Hitachi, Deloitte, which has a robust renewable energy consultancy.

It's been whale massacre after whale massacre whenever the wind industry is building. The US government is covering this up by refusing to conduct the studies it is required to carry out under U.S. law.

The wind industry has corrupted the federal government. Here's the proof:
https://x.com/shellenberger/status/1698723972387590361
Scientists have documented the devastating impact of wind industry construction on cetaceans for over a decade. The wind industry paid off environmental groups, the media, and the scientists to stop researching it, in large measure with taxpayer money.

Top scientists in 2021: “The North Atlantic right whale population cannot withstand any additional stressors; any potential interruption of foraging behavior may lead to population-level effects...”
"Population-level effects" = EXTINCTION

Industrial wind projects “could have population-level effects on an already endangered and stressed species,” warned the top US government (NOAA) scientist.
"Population-level effects" = EXTINCTION.

We must stop industrial wind before they make the whales extinct. I am proud to be part of a lawsuit to make that happen.
Once a judge oversees a proper investigation with discovery into the corruption of the science, all of these projects will end.
