Yeah but.... climate change and stuff! Turbines R gud! We only protect animals when we can take water away from farmers. /NPC
AFAIAC, EVERY wind turbine in America should be stopped and dismantled!
AND, the companies that erected them should pay to knockem down!
And all the raptors. These climate people are such obvious hypocrites.
Where’s the Sierra Club and all the other environmental groups to file injunctions to stop the construction of the KILLERS of the threatened species?
And PETA and other animals rights organizations remain silent.
Just as the Sierra Club is silent about the destruction of fragile desert areas near the California border by illegal immigrants who throw trash everywhere, trample delicate fauna and use the area as a toilet.
I frequently drove Highway 23 in Minnesota and near the town of Holland where the beautiful prairie is blighted by a veritable forest of windmills that literally stretches from horizon to horizon. While on many occasions I saw everyone of these monstrosities sitting idle, I am certain at times they are gigantic bird blenders.
Just think how many Kangaroo rats were saved by not clearing out California brush fire hazards over the years!! Bald Eagles are not as important.
How do these turbines kill eagles and other flying things?
Are the eagles learning or evolving to avoid the turbines?
Does the death of an eagle create better conditions for other eagles?
They should put even bigger plastic eagles on top of the turbines to keep the birds away.
We started getting golden eagles west of the Twin Cities a few years ago and earlier this winter I saw a golden eagle sitting on a deer carcass in the middle of a field with two bald eagles waiting for their turn to eat. The Golden Eagle dwarfed the bald eagle. Don’t be alarmed, they will survive!
