The killing of birds is one of dozens of reasons we should do away with these monumental pieces of crap.
*Note that DDT is used by most of the other countries of Earth.
Back in the olden days(1990’s), maybe it would have slowed it down. Now? Pffffttttttt!
The Left is NEVER able to conduct a complete and honest cost-benefit analysis. NEVER. Every factor is burdened with emotion.
There is probably a way to use wind to create energy that does not kill birds, but it requires the ability to see beyond ideology in order to find it.
I agree the turbines, as designed is not a solution, but there is probably one out there.
Yes it is too high a price to pay. And turbine blades cannot be recycled, they are put in landfills.
Has anyone tried putting big plastic hawks on top of the windmills?
It’s as simple as putting one of those deer whistles on the edge of the blade.
I long for the day when the entire planet is covered in wind and solar farms, don’t you? Because that’s what it will take to come close to the amount energy produced daily by fossil fuels.
It will be so much more beautiful than the ugly natural landscape.
I’m old enough to remember when Eco-Wackos cared about wildlife not phony baloney political agendas.
No, I don’t.
As currently designed, solar and wind are ugly monstrosities.
They are statements by the left of their conquests.
I just think they don’t have to be. I think there is a way to use solar and wind to generate power that doesn’t have to take away from the beauty of the planet. Do you think that God gave us wind and solar to not use it?
Send prison inmates to harvest shredded poultry in vicinity of wind farms.
We just need to figure out how to make them seem more natural, which is an engineering design problem. That’s all I’m saying.
The real question is, is shoveling up the dead birds a green job?
Birds Lives Matter!
The dem envirowhackos will shut down housing and watering of our crops for a tortoise or a tiny fish no one has ever heard of but are perfectly okay with swatting eagles out of the sky. How about the Condor? How many of those get killed by these monstrosities? Oh wait, it’s okay because the wind energy companies are paying to breed them in captivity. Sure. SMH
Follow the money. Money talks, animals don’t.
Hold the wind farm operators AND the landowner criminally responsible for this sh!t and my guess is there would be a lot less enthusiasm for windmills.
