FOX News claims that 1) 6 whales have been killed by wind farm development in the last month, and 2) offshore wind farms pose a severe threat to aquatic life.
What do you guys make of this?

The issue is the “severe” portion. Running wind farms do cause noise, but it’s 10 to 100 times less than from ships. So it’s unlikely to be much of a change.
The construction (pile driving) is more problematic, but you can mitigate that with bubble walls. .
Good point, and thanks for the source!
