I tried to look into the group who wrote the article but couldn’t find anything about them.
No problem with it.
I’m more opposed to the farce it will be beyond anything else. Fracking and nuclear are proven winners. Windmills went away 200 years ago for a reason
But like anything else (hydro, nuclear, solar, fossil), it’s an option.
Does fracking cause earthquakes? | U.S. Geological Survey

Most induced earthquakes are not directly caused by hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The recent increase in earthquakes in the central United States is primarily caused by disposal of waste fluids that are a byproduct of oil production.
Wastewater disposal wells typically operate for longer durations and inject much more fluid than is injected during the hydraulic fracturing process, making them more likely to induce earthquakes. In Oklahoma, which has the most induced earthquakes in the United States, 2% of earthquakes can be linked to hydraulic fracturing operations. Given the high rate of seismicity in Oklahoma, this means that there are still many earthquakes induced by hydraulic fracturing. The remaining earthquakes are induced by wastewater disposal. The largest earthquake known to be induced by hydraulic fracturing in the United States was a magnitude 4.0 earthquake that occurred in 2018 in Texas.
Was Fracking discussed on this board already?
Whale deaths exploited in 'cynical disinformation' campaign against offshore wind power, advocates say
A dozen New Jersey mayors have said offshore wind turbines could be the cause of whale strandings. Experts say that's essentially "disinformation."www.usatoday.com
Whales and wind emerged in the headlines in January after a press conferenceJan. 9 by two groups, Clean Ocean Action and Protect Our Coast New Jersey. They blamed the so-called "unprecedented" discovery of six dead whales along New Jersey and New York coasts on early-stage geotechnical surveys mapping the sea-floor for wind farms.
They advanced a festering concern that sound beams used in such surveys could harm nearby whales. Conservation groups and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management generally believe that's nonsense, in part because the type of sound used for wind turbine placement is much weaker than the stronger signals regularly used for other purposes such as oil and gas exploration.
Then the mayors' letter made national news with its call for a moratorium on all offshore wind activity until federal and state agencies determine there's no connection to recent whale deaths.
The cause has also been taken up by Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, who has aired a series of segments in which he called wind turbines DDT for whales.
Not me.
No, it only means that they use stronger signals for oil exploration than for the wind turbine placement. There would be more dead whales from oil exploration but no one noticed it.
And so have I
1. Nuke Power
While I agree that we need nuclear energy I still would rather look at windmills off the coast than a nuclear plant
Expand the existing NJ nuke plants and you won't need any other options. They already provide almost 50% of what NJ needs.
I agree but there will be justification for other sources for the other 50%
Try to find enough available land to build something. All large tracts are already preserved. LOL!
No there won't. Expand existing nuke sites and it will cover 100% of our needs. Problem solved!
You should not make one source the supply of 100% of power

I guess some people in this thread don't care about whales or bird. Very sad!
