How a false claim about wind turbines killing whales is spinning out of control in coastal Australia::Windfarm critics claim projects will harm marine life. Scientists say that’s not backed by credible evidence
Heard this argument in NJ from the NIMBYs as well. It killed our offshore wind project, unfortunately.

The worst part is it’s not just ‘they’ll kill whales, trust us’, it’s that they’ve cited a study in a journal to support their claim - but the journal says they have no record of the study being published or existing in the first place!

Obviously the deep state is suppressing the truth.

It does make you wonder whether someone has cooked the argument up with a language model along the way, and it’s just fabricated a citation as they are wont to do.

I don’t think I’ve seen “wont to do” written out until now. Is that the spelling of wont?
