Saw a picture recently showing blades, gosh they are big, cut into three sections. Then they are hauled to one of the Dakotas where they are buried as landfill. Talk about plastic being here in a thousand years, those blades will be here in two thousand years. Nuclear waste will half life to nothing but them blades will still be with us.

Those supposedly eco-friendly wind turbines kill over 350,000 a year. So much for blaming Trump.

Use the used blades to cover the pits.

Why don’t they gather them up and feed them to the homeless?

No worries, there's no shortage of snow geese. In fact, there are so many on the Atlantic Flyway PA has a 25 a day limit and the PGC has links to recipes on their website.

Should have pointed out the pit is 1750’ deep thus the reason I only used a 1/4 total sq/ft area as an estimate. There is much more than 23B/gal of poison in that pit.

Birds are sacred? Does the number of birds killed each year to be eaten (chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, quail, pheasants, etc.) exceed a billion? With 7.5 billion people on the earth it probably does.

Renewable, organic, carbon neutral whale oil would work just as well, maybe even better...

Use the cut up blades to build a wall around Yucca Mountain. They’ll keep people out for thousands of years. Long enough for the nuclear material to decay to safe levels.

Says the windmill lovers...migrating birds worst enemy. And solar panels taking up acres and acres of former meadows where birds nested.

Get enough of those piled up and you can build some nice ski runs. I see a future resort in the making.

Dan Ashe was raised in Harvard MA alongside the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge his father Bill Ashe helped create.

What is the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge? It is a swamp that breeds billions of disease carrying mosquitoes. Perhaps Danny Boy needs to figure out a way to kill billions of mosquitoes while saying the poor people of Ayer MA from the plague his daddy created.

Having met both Bill and Dan (and another brother of Dan) I am pretty certain their last name is As’h’e where the apostrophes represent a letter or letters from the list: s, o, l.

Well - I saw where they covered reservoirs with millions of floating plastic balls to prevent evaporation - why not do that to help keep the birds from settling down?
