Everyone knows you need a safety cage around a fan.
And the Harry Reid solar farms south of Vegas have evaporated unknown tons of birds and insects.
There was never any legitimate reason to ban it. But like today, the environmentalist organizations hold the playing cards with their unlimited finances allowing them to file law suits against every pro capitalistic endeavor trying to take place.
hese turbins are all over the mountain in my hometown - and the first thing people living up there said is they had to go out daily and pick up all the dead birds, bats and whatever else flies off the grounds. If they didn’t there’s a stench that the turbin winds spread across the mountain area.
Suicide by windmill.
How many dead eagles does it take to drive your Tesla 100 miles?
Wow! That is a very good MPDE. But not as good as my F350 with dual axles.
There goes the windmill racket. That leaves only solar.
They should immediately turn the bill over to the idiot bureaucrats who demand wind mills.
I hear this brought up every now and again I and I have to wonder just how much spent ammo has to be laying around to poison birds. Seems pretty nutty to me.
T Boone Pickens smart and pleasant man.
I would not recommend going to Bartlesville, OK and singing his praises.
He nearly destroyed that town with his green mail scam on Phillips Petroleum.
NextEra Energy was sentenced to probation and ordered to pay more than $8 million in fines and restitution

I will end up paying the 8 Mill in increased power charges.
A controlled study indicated having one blade painted black decreases bird deaths. Under lighting conditions which make white blades difficult to see in motion blur, a moving black blade is more likely to be seen and avoided.
This change in paint scheme would be low-cost if done in the plant where the blades are manufactured, but if operators started putting up turbines with black blades, and especially if it became apparent the black blades were saving birds, the operators would face pressure to repaint all their existing turbines in situ, which would be quite expensive.
I like Eagles. I do not like windmills that kill them.
Circa 1976 in Wyoming: I saw golden eagles hunting. It was incredible. They flew a few hundred feet in the air and when they spotted their prey the eagle would fold their wings and dive at great speed. They would level flight at the height of their prey and extend their talons and legs forward. The impact killed the prey. It broke their back.
Had to look it up. Gotcha.
When I met him, we had an instant attraction, so much so that his wife came racing across the room. If he hadn’t been married, who knows? I might be able to fully fund FreeRepublic by myself. Just damn!
Culling the flock. The eagles with poor eyesight and those too slow to avoid the blades will perish and not pass along their defective genes.
