A recent study has found that the most common cause of death in whales killed by exposure to high powered sonars and seismic charge explosions is nitrogen embolism (the bends) due to fright. A slow heart beat is one of the primary adaptations that allow whales and other marine mammals to dive to great depths and return to the surface without getting the bends. When frightened, their heart rate accelerates and they lose this protection.
Storms are not going to drive whales into turbine pylons and there is no structure that would trap them. Wind turbines at sea are not killing whales.
