A report titled, “Conflicts of Interest: Environmental Organizations Take Offshore Wind Industry Money,” has revealed that environmental groups such as National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club, and Audubon Society accept millions of dollars in donations from the offshore wind industry.
The letter states, “When offshore wind companies donate to environmental groups, they often frame their donations as a way to mitigate the impacts of their projects by funding conservation research. But such research may be mere tokenism that serves to distract from the immediate risks of the proposed project.”
