Abstract

The article discusses a disinformation campaign targeting offshore wind projects, which benefits fossil fuel companies. The campaign involves local anti-wind groups borrowing arguments from fossil fuel-funded think tanks to turn public opinion against offshore wind. The article highlights that offshore wind is a viable renewable energy source and emphasizes the need to transition away from fossil fuels to combat climate change. It also addresses concerns about the impact of offshore wind on marine life and fishing, stating that precautions are being taken to protect these ecosystems. The article concludes by urging readers to be aware of false arguments and to support the development of offshore wind in a way that protects the environment. [Extracted from the article]
