Destroying the Environment To ‘Save The Planet’
Writing for Michael Capuzzo’s RESCUE Substack, reporter Linda Bonvie just posted an extraordinarily thorough report on the despoliation of the East Coast the Biden Administration has approved in the name of stopping ‘climate change’
Reading it this morning over coffee reminded me of Peter Arnett’s famous 7 February 1968 dispatch from the Battle of Bến Tre in Vietnam:
It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,’ a United States major said today.
He was talking about the decision by allied commanders to bomb and shell the town regardless of civilian casualties, to rout the Vietcong.
In order to “Save the Climate,” the Biden Administration has leased gigantic swaths of coastal seabed between Martha’s Vineyard and the New Jersey Shore for the construction of colossal wind turbine farms.
The huge blitz of sonar for ocean bottom mapping is inflicting grave harm on whales and dolphins, who desperately flee from the maddening noise.
Some dive to perilous depths; others run to the shoreline and beach themselves, suffering cruel and painful deaths.
Votaries of the Climate Cult—and the financial and industrial interests who exploit their foolish religiosity in order to enrich themselves—seem to have lost all contact and feeling for actual nature—that is, the birds, whales, water, and sky, unmarred by the despoliation of man.
The turbine farms that are planned for the coast south of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are particularly distressing, as this is one of the richest coastal marine environments on earth.
For decades the cod were overfished, the oyster beds poisoned, and the whales were hunted almost to extinction.
However, in recent years, all have made a comeback. Is it really time to trash this environment again?
How could the U.S. government and the American people even CONSIDER turning this coastline into a gigantic industrial park for the financial benefit of “alternative energy” companies?
A particularly notable element of Bonvie’s report is that the offshore leases include (legally speaking) mineral rights, which opens up the distinct possibility that companies such as Shell—one of the concerns that is mapping the New Jersey Shore—may also get into the drilling business on these leases.
I highly recommend reading Linda Bonvie’s report in full.

Everything the Biden administration is doing, wants to do or speaks of doing about “climate change” is much the same. The hubris alone that is required to voice aloud their plans (let alone see them to fruition) is only matched by the egos presenting said plans and the naivete of the movement’s drones, who typically possess zero knowledge of any actual climate science.
So…let’s block out the sun to advance global cooling. What could possibly go wrong?

Hi Navy ET1,
While I do to know what ET1 indicates., I know Admiral Rickover, the father of the Nuclear NAVY was fighting the same battle decades. I ask you: what percentage of present Navy Admirals do you estivate know of his fight outside the Navy to try to preserved the USA public educational system which produced him and the physicists and chemists which produced the nuclear bombs which worked the first three bombs they were tested and quickly ended WWII.
Have a good day
