Michael Shellenberger is executive producer of a documentary that provides evidence that offshore wind projects kill whales. Writing in the New York Post, Shellenberger says:
“The film documents surprisingly loud, high-decibel sonar emitted by wind industry vessels when measured with state-of-the-art hydrophones. And it shows that the wind industry’s increased boat traffic is correlated directly with specific whale deaths.”
On August 15, Shellenberger wrote in his Substack column that
Facebook and Instagram censored my post linking whale deaths to wind energy off the East Coast of the United States. The censorship came in the form of a “FactCheck.org” article from March 31, 2023, which relied entirely on U.S. government sources.

Hah. Of course the State would. Because they’re promoting Dirty Green energy to help carry out their anti-mankind philosophy. But let a 90 year old independent Maine lobsterman set a lobster trap within a couple miles of any whale and he’s lucky not to be imprisoned for life, his boat and equipment confiscated. We’re from the government; we’re here to help you.
I agree.
