Offshore Wind Farms Shouldn’t Stand Between You and Rescue realclearenergy.org/articles…

@fishstewardship Director of Advocacy Jason Joyce found the new FDA label especially important: “The U.S. Caught Seafood label is a major win for consumers, American fishermen, seafood processors, and retailers alike… We believe U.S. seafood is the most sustainably harvested in the world, and this label gives consumers a simple, recognizable way to identify American-caught seafood while supporting our domestic fishing, processing, and retail industries.”
@POTUS @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SecretaryBurgum @SecKennedy @SecWar @DHSgov @SecMullinDHS @SecDuffy dear God, someone help up #SOS @JunkScience no one should have to die, not a fisherman, someone on a sailboat, a rec fisherman, a tug operator, no one, when we’ve known about this for the last 14 years it’s been buried in administrations via #TheMilitaryClearinghouse so that no one that wants to help stop this madness would even know about it. #PresidentTrumpPleaseHelpUs @DonaldJTrumpJr @EricTrump @TrumpWarRoom
When a man goes overboard, seconds matter.
Offshore wind farms are posing life-threatening risks to mariners, delaying rescues and, in some cases, preventing emergency aircraft from reaching vessels in distress.
These energy companies must be held accountable for the dangers they create and the consequences on people’s lives.

Wind turbines are delaying rescues and putting mariners’ lives at risk. @mtkblb joined @77WABCradio's @JCats2013 to discuss last week’s medical emergency aboard a wind farm construction vessel, when turbines prevented the Coast Guard from flying in to help.

NEFSA Policy Director @mtkblb shares how the tragic case of the commercial fishing vessel Mistress reveals the dangers offshore wind farms pose during search-and-rescue missions.
It’s been seven years since two men died, yet there are still so many questions. One thing is certain: Offshore wind farms put fishermen in harm’s way.

“We told them this was a dangerous thing,” Ms. Brady said, referring to commercial fishermen’s opposition to the wind farms.
“We told them that search and rescue wouldn’t work. And it’s not just search and rescue for us commercial fishermen. Anybody on the water, whether you’re a pilot boat, whether you’re a tugboat, whether you’re a sailing boat with your family, or whether you’re a tanker, it doesn’t matter. You get in there, they can’t come and get you, and that should have never, ever happened.”
Ms. Brady’s organization obtained the incident investigation report from the Coast Guard’s aborted mission the night the Mistress sank and provided it to The Times. The wind farm is mentioned several times in the report as a hazard the rescuers faced.
The Coast Guard said it deployed an MH-60T Jayhawk to the sinking vessel from Air Station Cape Cod after receiving the distress call.
Typically, the aircraft search for survivors and lower equipment and a rescue swimmer to recover them, and they can perform this task in severe weather and rough seas.
But the Jayhawk aborted the mission to help the Mistress, the incident report said, “due to weather and hazards in the area (I.E. Wind Farm).”
Seven years after two men died when the commercial fishing boat Mistress sank in a January storm off the coast of Block Island, R.I., a mysterious team of researchers using sidescan sonar and divers claim they discovered the wreckage along with human remains this summer.
The operation is detailed in an anonymous Sept. 5 report complete with underwater photographs.

NEFSA Policy Director @mtkblb reacts to the phenomenal leadership of @RepMikeLawler & @RepGolden in passing H.R. 9436 in the House and defending commercial fishermen from life-threatening ropeless gear mandates.
This is the most amazing story and those two young men acted with bravery and conviction normally reserved for men twice their age and saved their Captain @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr (please show your dad!) @SecKennedy @RobertKennedyJr 💪🏻🦞🇺🇸
When Captain Jay Fiandaca’s foot became caught in a trap line, he was at risk of being pulled overboard.
The two young fishermen, just entering 8th grade, sprang into action, securing their captain and creating slack in the line to free him.

It is the same for any in-state waters component of #OffshoreWind. Their hands are tied and they have no choice, but to say yes or risk losing their jobs!
This sums up the environmental hypocrisy going on at ORES wind and solar complexes.
Since the @NYSDEC has been “shut out of the conversation” so ORES can steamroll our rural towns, this is what is happening to state endangered species.
In fact, ORES lets the foreign developers pay to “mitigate” the death of significant species, like the bald eagle.
Bald eagles and their nests have been documented at multiple ORES sites. I’ve documented some of them myself.
When locals submit to the ORES docket showing the eagle nest/eaglets, ORES redacts their own submission online to minimize the true environmental destruction accessible to the public.
Along the way, in the case of Alle-Catt Wind, the developer will pay $2 million to @Cornell to offset the projected 41 eagle deaths. What a great arrangement for Cornell, which also happens to be the same university that helps downgrade what’s considered prime farming soils for Mineral Soil Groups (MSGs).
Thank you to Dave Godfrey for writing this submission. ORES is mutilating our environment.
Thank you @JCats2013 amd @77WABCradio for continuing to keep the public aware of the #NationalSecurity threats from offshore wind to all Americans. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump @SecretaryBurgum @SecKennedy @SecWar @SecDuffy

Wow, who would’ve thunk’ it? That thing that never happens happened again. Wonder how many tons those blades have of non-recyclable fiberglass? Wonder how many (farm) fields are destroyed, and the folks that own them who thought they were going to make money from the created by Enron get rich quick gang scheme, are suddenly responsible for the hazmat cleanup?
Construction is ongoing at Sunrise Wind with 4000kj Bokalift piledriver. Within a week we have two dead humpbacks one just landing on Crescent Beach on Block Island, the other on Ditch Plains in Montauk.
Below dead humpback four days ago floating through Cox’s Ledge, (you can see the turbines in the background) coordinates, picture from FB Ted Asaro of 2nd dead whale on BI, Sunrise wind incidental harassment takes allowed, Level A harassment= Permanent deafness and mild tissue injury….😳
The biggest grift ever is offshore wind where there are far less people, but it will single-handedly destroy the domestic commercial fishing industry, the most sustainable commercial fishing industry on the planet.
But on land, absolutely New York is for sale, acre by acre, courtesy every governor since Cuomo. 😢
Check the New York State pension fund. When they started the green grift, they started investing heavily in the state pension fund. Hence, the reason why the SEIU and the teachers’ union are selling it in the schools.
Scenes out of Byron, New York, where Genesee County has been flattened beyond repair for foreign corporations intent on grabbing green energy credits and subsidies.
Genesee County, not coincidentally, has the highest percentage of classified farmland of any county in New York.
Since New York State uses its own soil classification system for farmland (starting in 2020), it’s been able to downgrade what’s considered prime farmland by U.S. Department of Agriculture standards.
Why would New York want to do that?
Foreign developers have to pay to “mitigate” the loss of prime farmland. By downgrading what’s considered prime, it spares the corporations from having to pay for the destruction of the land that feeds us.
This is the biggest grift ever peddled on the people on New York. And now this is the disgustingly hideous result.
