The article discusses US President Donald Trump's disinformation campaign against wind power, particularly his claim that wind turbines are harming whales. Although he initiated a freeze on new offshore wind projects, recently some projects have been allowed to continue. His false narrative about turbines driving marine life crazy has gained traction on social media, but NOAA Fisheries refutes these claims, citing a lack of scientific evidence to support a connection between wind energy operations and whale fatalities. Wind power remains a significant renewable energy source in the US, increasing its share in the energy mix.
US President Donald Trump has been a prominent figure spreading disinformation about wind power, including false claims linking wind turbines to whale strandings.
Despite Trump's claims, scientific evidence from NOAA Fisheries contradicts the narrative that offshore wind activities negatively impact whale populations or cause deaths.
