If the senator is so concerned about wind turbines impacting marine life, wait until he hears about whale deaths caused by oil spills

claiming that wind farms are to blame for elevated numbers of marine life deaths, despite experts saying that turbines are not responsible. Instead, scientists point to rising ocean temperatures due to climate change, which in recent years have forced whales to change the routes they travel, bringing them closer to shore where they are more likely to be harmed by passing ships and fishing gear.

If Johnson is so concerned about whales and marine life, he should consider the consequences of oil spills. According to the Center for Biological Diversity’s, the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon spill — the largest of its kind — “likely harmed or killed about 82,000 birds of 102 species; about 6,165 sea turtles; as many as 25,900 marine mammals; and a vast number of fish.”
