Why are these massive wind farms not subject to the same environmental scrutiny as other large construction projects? How many dams, fossil fuel generating plants, refineries not to mention nuclear plants have been stymied for decades or stopped altogether because of some purported harm to one critter or another?
What no intellegent green god can come up with a sound emmited from these wind monuments to make birds avoid the area!
I have two of those little whistles on my truck bumper that makes deer stop look and listen. YEa right!
Good question. And why can the wind turbines kill eagles which are protected by law? Wind energy trumps birds? Let’s make a Hierarchy of Importances of liberal causes, so the laws can be rearranged according to standing on the chart.
I worked on a project for a potash mine in New Mexico where the mine had to build a boathouse to house employees and jet skis. You see, the EPA or NMED (I don’t recall which set of fascists) had determined that some type of protected birds should not land in the mine’s “contaminated” water pits so they required the mine to pay people to sit in a boathouse and any time it appeared that birds were going land in the water they had to hop on the jet ski’s and ride out to scare the birds away. If a bird did hit the water it meant big fines for the mine.
I guess when you bust your butt to dig up a mineral that makes everyone’s life better through commercial use you are just asking for the Eco-fascists to mess with you. Build an ideollogically correct bird slaughter machine that occasionally produces useful electricity and the sun shines out your u-know-what.
