Windmills are quiet.

Do they harm any birds?

A heck of a lot more than those affected by oil and gas well footprints on the landscape! But you can't do anything to interrupt the narrative that the source of all global warming/climate change problems are fossil fuels.

“Windmills are quiet.”

No they are NOT quiet. They are very noisy. They make a repetitive low frequency / infrasound noise that will drive you absolutely crazy. Low frequency sounds are non-directional so if feels like the entire space around you is alive with the sound.

The sound originates from the blades passing through the “wind shadow” behind the tower.

Many ranchers have had to leave their homes when wind farms are built nearby.

PETA is so hypocritical. They should be marching in protest against windmills that kill thousands of birds, 5 G that kills more and more birds, ocean wind power that is forcing so many whales to beach and die, and greenies that are starting fires in hundreds of places.
They seem to be silent! They should be returning all monies sent their way.

Naaa, they couldn’t because they are “green” and anything green CAN’T harm anything.
