    Do you have any articles about wind turbines disturbing marine life? It makes sense on paper and I'm skeptical, but I'm very willing to read any articles you have. I have the others you linked me open in other tabs.

      Not a lot of research has been done on the topic, it seems. Offshore windfarms have hundreds, if not thousands of turbines, constructing them involves a lot of dredging, pouring concrete, and so on. To be honest, I don't trust private companies not to cheap out on environmental damage mitigation, because they always do.
