How are Australia’s nuclear power plants doing?

What’s that?...

Australia protects it’s parrots, but the environmentally-concerned US allows its windmills to kill song birds, golden eagles, and bats.

Someone must have forgotten to read the fine print in the permitting process!
Or is this an ex post facto permit condition?

I’m conflicted over this issue.
On one hand I am not into wind farms spreading out like urban sprawl...on the other hand I’m not into environmentalism as a weapon.

LOL
This article needs a meme. Or maybe just a gif.

That's important. We need to protect the birds. Hopefully we'll do that here in the U.S.

You must protect the orange-bellied parrot (which looks suspiciously like a parakeet) by shutting down the wind farm whenever the wind blows.

Wind turbines are Real Stupid and UNreliable.

...but popular among the scientifically ignorant.

No wonder those birds are in trouble! That one is obviously crapping in its feeding bowl.

Get another example of how gov’t can screw things up. The parrots get a 5-month free pass, but how about those who depend on that energy to power their ventilators?

Once coal and nuclear are dead, the “wind farms” that replace them are the new target for destruction.

Critical theory. Cloward-Piven. Total passion for criticism, zero intellectual content, stultification and intimidation of the public mind, and, finally, utter destruction of anything valuable that until now allowed society to grow and thrive.

I wish we had someone sane to prevent bird deaths. Worldwide.

T. Boone Pickens, megawealthy oil man was all in favor of wind farms, put some up but when he saw bird deaths, he got rid of them and told others to do the same. I met him one time. Terrific guy.
