Michael Shellenburger is known for his fossil fuel supporting propaganda, and this is no exception. The oil and gas industry would love you to believe that whales are hurt by wind turbines - and there is no evidence that they are.

OTOH there is a huge amount of evidence that exploration and drilling for oil and gas hurts whales. A clear explanation is given by the Sierra Club (Google it).

The BP Deepwater Horizon spill is estimated to have killed 17% of ALL Gulf of Mexico whales. Seismic blasting in the exploration process disrupts whale feeding, breeding, and communication. High-energy seismic noise can also physically injure whales, causing permanent hearing loss. Increased vessel traffic during exploration and drilling also harms whales, both by raising underwater noise and by increasing the risk of vessel strikes, which can cause serious injury or death. And oil spills can disrupt whale behavioral patterns, and injure or kill whales, depending on the size and location of the spill. Source: NRDC (Google it).

So if you love whales, ignore this dross and look at the real villain: fossil fuels.
