Where are the environmentalists?

January 22, 2023 5:14 pm • Last Updated: January 22, 2023 5:14 pm

After reading David Collin’s column regarding the “out of control management” of the State Pier, I, also have a question on what the environmentalist’s actions are regarding the beached whales in New Jersey and Delaware, and the many flocks of birds being killed out west with these turbines. It has been very quiet from their standpoint; therefore, I assume they totally approve of the noise resonating from these turbines, which the whales are picking up and confusing their senses, and the birds are flying into the blades of these windmills. This is, also, another boondoggle, which should be answered.
