“This is life under liberalism, folks......prosecution of those who do not think the right way and protection of those who do.”
Yep. Or, to put it more directly, this is life under Evil. The same type which, centuries ago, swarmed to the Church when IT could be used to control and destroy are now swarming to gov’t with the same impulse.
The more things change the more they remain the same.

But did you know that wind-power companies are responsible for more than 400,000 bird deaths annually, and not one has faced a single charge? Because they died for a noble cause. < /sarc>

Typical anti-wind hype. For example, Duke Energy voluntarily offered to shut down a producing wind farm at night over a SINGLE bat death. One bat.

Yes, they have stopped hunting and just lay around under wind mills, we have now created a welfare class of wolves. I expect any day they will go on a strike demanding more veggies in their diets. That or organic birds.

Raptor deaths from wind farms are well documented. They count the bodies at the base of the windmills.

Thanks for posting.
I wonder how many dead birds they find around natgas turbine plants? Or coal plants?
Wind farms, like solar farms, take up thousands of acres for the amount of power you can produce on 40 acres with a natgas plant, or a hundred acres with a coal plant.
Its my contention that “green” needs to consider these other issues. On that basis, coal and natural gas are way more “green” than solar or wind. I’m not opposed to solar and wind per se, they make good niche sources. But they are not a replacement for coal and natural gas even on environmental grounds.

I’m not familiar with the wind turbines shown toward the end, which apparently are designed to keep birds away from the blades. I live near a wind farm and haven’t seen anything like it. What are they?
