Sonar affects whale hearing which they use for navigation. Powerful sonar (there are differences in the frequency and volume) has been proven to kill whales. All man-made ocean sounds affect whale behavior, but I agree that more evidence is needed to prove the current activities are related to whale deaths.

I do believe the most vocal parties in NJ are doing it for selfish, provincial reasons and not any genuine care for the earth or wildlife.

First it was the view! They ran some dumb grassroots campaign about pushing the windmills 35 miles out. These dumb people are going to lose their home from rising oceans and worry about the fucking view. A majority of the island are redumblicans anyways, can’t say i’m suprised.

> Phil Murphy is governor

I've also started seeing people posting an old tweet from 2018 that said that he signed a bill that was going to prevent any new drilling off the Jersey coast. Ummm... folk, this is in relation to the natural gas drilling that Christie was in favor of, not windmills.

"passing lane up to speed limit only" is always an odd comment. If everyone's going speed limit, no one's passing anybody.
