“We know it wasn’t us, and we have the research to back it up,” said Crystal Pruitt, an external affairs official with Atlantic Shores, which plans two offshore wind farms off the New Jersey coast. “But the hardest thing to do is prove a negative.”“If you’re telling me that the hum from turbines 10 to 12 miles off the beach is going to cause me to go insane, that is not real, and someone needs to say that,” Pruitt said.
Alicia Gene Artessa, director of the New York Offshore Wind Alliance, likened trying to counter disinformation about offshore wind to playing a game of whack-a-mole. “We are appalled by the gaslighting of our movement without evidence by shills for the climate industry who hope to cash in if offshore wind becomes a reality,” said Robin Shaffer, the group’s president. “This is a case of accusing our group of the very thing that they themselves are doing, muddying the waters, dispensing disinformation to the unwitting public.”
Jerry Leeman, CEO of the New England Fishermen’s Stewardship Association, decried the announcement Tuesday that the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management chosen two developers to build offshore wind on four lease sites in the Gulf of Maine, calling it “a rushed regulatory process” that failed to take into account the turbine failure at Vineyard Wind.
