Birds not smart enough or too slow to avoid those huge slow moving blades are being culled from the gene pool.
I would imagine wave-powered generators would ingest a lot of small sea creatures too - you can put up a screen but you wouldn’t want to make it too fine or you’ll interfere with the wave energy
I’ll ping my friend who makes stuff go and makes other stuff do whatever that stuff is supposed to do
Paraphrasing: “We had to save the whales in order to kill them.”
We have a windmill to pump water to our pond. It is not that big or tall and it is one by it's self.
Our neighbor has one as well, once again, not big or tall and set by his pond.
Quite a few of us have solar panels. A couple, three set either on the roof or on swivels.
You do not find any dead birds around because you do not have enough of them to impact things.
But when you have fields of windmills or fields of solar panels you have trouble.
The greenees insist that killing of whales and birds is inhumane.
The greenees insist that, killing of whales and birds is tolerable if it allows their green agenda to be fulfilled.
The green agenda is a fake excuse the the greenees, because, they don’t really care about the environment, but about having government control our lives. The greenees is a liberal organization which is really a division of the democrat party. The democrat party wants complete control over the American people, and to do so, they have to pretend to care about things. IOW, they are lying about everything they do, in order to achieve that control over the people and government.
In reality, it's just more 🐂💨💩.
Force the government to build giant fans under the guise of saving the environment. Make the citizens pay for them. Rake in the 💰💵💰💵.
Who cares if a bunch of birds are killed?
They left out bats. Giant commercial wind generators are murder on bats because the vibrations seem to attract them. And they might have trouble “seeing” the blades, either visually or with echolocation, especially at the tip, because at 60 rpm, the tips of the blades on commercial-sized windmills are going more than 300 mph.
Without bats there’s be no tequila, mescal, or bananas, because they’re the largest natural pollinator of the agave plant and banana trees.
They reckon the one colony of bats in Bracken Cave (near San Antonio) provides hundreds of millions of dollars of agricultural benefits to central Texas farmers annually.
