"Three conservative groups sued the Biden administration Monday over its approval of a wind project off the coast of Virginia, alleging it failed to consider the facility's impacts on endangered whales.The federal lawsuit filed by the Heartland Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) and National Legal and Policy Center seeks to stop the construction of Dominion Energy Inc's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project pending a new federal analysis of risks to the North Atlantic right whale by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Developing offshore wind power is a major part of President Joe Biden's strategy to decarbonize the U.S. power sector to fight climate change. Both Heartland Institute and CFACT have rejected the mainstream science showing that climate change is driven by human use of fossil fuels. They have also criticized offshore wind as expensive and unreliable.The groups' lawsuit alleges that the NMFS analysis, known as a biological opinion, did not adequately consider the combined impacts of all the offshore wind projects planned along the Atlantic coast on the right whale population."This erroneous biological opinion issued by NMFS is a classic example of abdication of its duty to provide meaningful protection for an endangered species," Heartland Institute President James Taylor said in a statement. "Playing politics with such an iconic species as the right whale is a truly pathetic example of the Biden administration’s allegiance to climate alarmism."
A complete turn of the dial. Once it would be the left who would be standing uo for the environment. Now they can't wait to exterminate species and it has fallen to the right to pick uo the ball and run with it.
