Thank you for your coverage of this important topic. I know it’s exhausting, but could you possibly reply to Mr TBM who is spreading disinfo above? 😱😬🤢 You’re such a pro at that.
If Republicans support anything at this point, I'm automatically suspicious. It's sad to me that it's come to that but, welp, here we are...................
Thank you again for your super hard work, Emily. Keep exposing the liars--You and Judd Legum are the best at that!
New Jerseyoid here, and I missed the hearing but am glad to find out more about this, because oh boy have the anti-wind voices been loud on this one, including at least one astorturf group that pretends to care about whales but mostly bangs on about wanting to stop any and all wind projects.
One "coincidence" deserves mention. Whale deaths on NJ beaches seem to have increased most during the last few years, since the Bayonne Bridge was replaced with a taller span, enabling a much larger ships to enter into the port of NY, typically transiting off the NJ coast.
I liked the "I'm pissed off and I'm not going to take it anymore." attitude from the NJ DEP guy. As an Garden State refugee in the mellow hills of CO, I get a bit of grief for similar attitude at times. I also read his point of "Show up physically in SUPPORT of the things that you care about." as calling on the climate community to be less reticent in support of "industrial" solar and wind, etc., and not get cold feet from every "concern" that comes up.

Emily, I'm a paid subscriber under steve@stevechapple.com. Can your team please switch me over to intellectualcapitalchapple@gmail.com so I get it more easily. Great post on whales, by the way. I do the HOT GLOBE substack.
Apropos of nothing, as a New Jersey Jerseyan, I saw the title and immediately thought, "Oh, great -- what did we do now?"

Great article and I didn't realize boats hitting whales was such a problem. Reading further it seems like it also affects sea turtles as well.
