A central tenet of the Soundscape concept is that humans immersed in sonic environments are objective measuring instruments (New Experts), whose reports and descriptions must be taken seriously and quantified by technical measurements. -Wade Bray, 2012. acoustics.org/pressroom/http…

Children with autism are especially sensitive to sound—including infrasound and low-frequency noise. So why are we placing industrial wind turbines in their communities without understanding the risks? #ASD #ProtectTheVulnerable #StopWindTurbines
Another consideration before approving *industrialization* by wind turbines for your community: what does the noise pollution by the turbines do to people? Here's one article on the concerns. @IESO_Tweets @ONenvironment academia.edu/116772800/Auti…
🚨 Environmentalists, it’s time to look again. OSW isn't clean and green—it’s a noisy, risky, destructive industrial project off our coast. #SaveLBI is urging the Sierra Club, NRDC & others to reexamine what they’re supporting. #StopOffshoreWind tinyurl.com/bdh3k2zd
It takes a cold heart to harm autistic children.

When you’re in big seas, high winds, and zero visibility, radar isn’t a luxury…it’s your lifeline. It’s how vessels detect other ships, avoid hazards, and stay alive. This footage is from Vineyard Wind , and it shows exactly what mariners are now forced to navigate, 900+ ft…

Interesting article about the merits of deregulation (regulatory reform) in general, with a nuclear (NRC) focus. Article link in reply. My takes on the article's statements: LNT, and ALARA do not imply that there is "no safe dose" of radiation. They assume that health risk is…
Britain is tilting - the south is sinking while the north is rising up. This has been going on for a long time and is due to isostatic rebound after the last glaciation, and has nothing to do with people cooking on gas or driving 1.0 litre hatchbacks to Waitrose.

Unsolicited career advice: If you find an original thinker with a strong moral compass, do whatever it takes to work with them. Both of those things are incredibly rare standalone, even rarer when together. They are also are traits that cannot be acquired imho.
