‘Green energy’ is bringing back the atrocities of ‘blood diamonds’

Unfortunately, wind turbines are no better. In an interview conducted by California Insider in 2026, Dr. C. Michael Hogan highlighted that offshore wind turbines have killed more than 5,900 whales. The survey and installation processes for these offshore wind turbines can produce sound levels of more than 200 decibels. We would be deaf if exposed to this kind of sound level. Because whales' ears are similar to ours, with the same kind of ear structure, but larger, exposing them to this kind of sound level also causes them to lose their hearing. Because whales rely on communication and sonar, losing their hearing is equivalent to a death sentence.

In the same interview, Dr. Hogan also pointed out that offshore wind turbines exact a heavy death toll on humans. The workers maintaining these wind turbines are mostly young people in their late 20s and 30s, with no serious technical background. They are required to climb a 300-foot tower manually, with no elevator and no enclosure, with only a rope to catch them if they fall. Moreover, the workers handle very complex electrical machinery in the gear boxes. Exposure to these dangerous conditions results in fatalities from falling or electrocution. In Europe alone, "practically every week, there's a worker death".

Dr. Hogan also discussed explosions occurring in battery storage plants during his interview, which was the main topic of the interview. These battery storage plants are built to store the excess power produced by wind and solar electricity systems for later use. Whenever these explosions occur, the release of toxic materials results in adverse effects for both humans and the environment.

Given all of these issues with wind and solar electricity systems, their use for electricity generation should be discontinued for the good of humanity and the environment.
