Are offshore wind farms responsible for recent whale deaths?

When I was a kid, I remember environmentalists being utterly obsessed with “saving the whales.”  So where are all these whale-loving environmentalists when you really need them?

Over the past two months, eight whales have washed ashore across New Jersey and New York beaches.  Coincidentally or not, the major uptick in deaths of these majestic mammals also happens to be occurring as construction has begun for Empire Wind, a massive offshore wind farm located in the very same waters.
