Over the last few months roughly two dozen whale corpses have washed up on the Atlantic coast of the US. The unexplained increase in fatalities is happening as the state of New Jersey is constructing a massive offshore wind farm which conservationists claim is affecting whale navigation. Federal scientists insist that no evidence has directly linked the construction to the spike in beached whales. But some local lawmakers, environmentalist groups and conservative commentators have insisted that wind turbines are the obvious culprit.
