Sound Waves and Whales: Unpacking the Myths
This chapter explores the impact of noise pollution from seismic air guns used in oil drilling compared to that from offshore wind farms, focusing on their effects on whale populations.

Additionally, the chapter examines the role of misinformation and public perception regarding environmental narratives, particularly in how they relate to the transition from oil to wind energy.
