We ( my wife and I) were in Puerto Rico a couple of years ago. We drove past a whole wind farm that was destroyed by a hurricane. Every single blade was broken off to some some extent.

It is unusual and rare for them to litter Nantucket beaches since the hypocritical Massholes don’t want wind turbines on THEIR waterfront.

Who pays for this damage?

The Climate deniers who oppose the windmills need to avert climate change that is destroying windmills.

The only question is, does shoveling up the dead birds count as a “green job”?

Can the fried birds who didn’t make it over the solar farms be used to feed the poor?

They are only upset because it is washing up on their beach.

I thought wind turbines were supposed to be “safe and effective?”!

…Or am I confusing that with something else? 🤔

Ironically in the Midwest, they have the capability of locking the blades in high wind situations.

“”Unusual and rare” today, maybe. But in 10 years??”

Landfills are already “filling up” with the debris from other failed moronic leftist schemes. Everything from wind turbine blades to toxic electric vehicle batteries and mercury-containing light bulbs. It won’t take another 10 years for these poisons to make it to our water table and destroy our fresh water. They really are trying to kill us all. I suppose the GEMs (globalist elitist masters) will all have an endless supply of bottled water by that time. But most of the peons and peasants and the animal life will be dead with no safe water to drink.

Couple found dead after trying to cross Atlantic
By Tom McArthur,
BBC News

In a video posted to their YouTube channel, Theros Adventures, the pair explained how their trip - dubbed the Green Odyssey - would rely on sails, solar panels, batteries and an electric engine repurposed from a car.

“We’re doing everything we can to show that you can travel without burning fossil fuels.”

They married in Canada on their yacht a year later, before affirming their vows in a traditional handfasting ceremony at Stonehenge in 2017.

Poor couple, duped by the left.
