“Wind turbines within the line of sight of Early Warning Radar (EWR) disrupt these systems used for early threat detection and military surveillance. As depicted in Figure 1, all three of the projects under construction (Revolution, SouthFork, and Vineyard Wind) will significantly interfere with the EWR system. Interference can hinder ballistic missile airspace surveillance, confound target detection, and prolong response time to attacks.”

This letter from the IRS verifies the 501©3 status for Green Oceans.

In light of the Vineyard Wind GE Vernova blade failure, Green Oceans sent a letter to BOEM requesting a supplemental EIS. We have never heard back.

The letter from Green Oceans to the RI Facilities Siting Board outlining the risk of jet plowing through the historically polluted West Passage.

A panel discussion held by a RI State Representative in Little Compton, offered information on the benefits of offshore wind, ignoring the many drawbacks to marine life, ocean health and NOAA’s granting of “Incidental Take Authorizations” as minimal disturbance to the whale population. The Q&A session of the evening did not allow for interactive discussion. The press maligned fisherman and environmental groups in the audience who had questions about the possible harmful effects of the turbines.

The recent surge in whale deaths along the Atlantic coast, coinciding with offshore wind surveys, raises concerns about a potential link. Yet, NOAA and wind companies are reluctant to investigate or acknowledge the possible impact of these activities. Despite the legal protections for marine mammals, offshore wind companies continue to request permits for actions that could harm thousands of marine species, while key agencies fail to release critical data, leaving the public in the dark about the full scope of the issue.
