Wind turbines are another “green energy” pipe dream. These monstrosities should be outlawed. Not only are they an eyesore, but they are dangerous to the environment. Joel Merriman, a wind specialist at the American Bird Conservancy, modeled the death rate at the start of 2021. He accounted for the fact that many of the bird death studies were published earlier in the decade and the numbers will have increased since then. He also factored in that many deaths of smaller birds will escape the notice of studies. Merriman concludes that 1.17 million birds are killed by wind turbines in the US each year. That number does not account for the number of bats that are killed each year, as well as the death and adversity that affects many types of wildlife. Besides direct collisions, noise pollution, habitat loss, and reduced survival and reproduction rates are all side effects of an unstable and unreliable power source.

Sad that it has to keep being said and still people do not understand or even know or care what damage these farces are doing to our countries.

In my opinion, the entire renewable scam is the Cloward-Piven tactic writ very large. At the present, the massive push to go all electric is causing major disruptions in a large number of industries worldwide, and when/if sanity prevails, it will take large amounts of capital and resources and time to undo all of the damage already done.

WIND POWER FRAUD
WHY WIND WON'T WORK
by Charles S. Opalek, PE
Everyone believes alternative energies are the answer to all our power problems, with wind power leading the way. The truth is: Wind power is unsustainable and a total waste of resources.
This the book exposes the utter uselessness of wind power, including how:
• Wind turbines rarely produce their advertised full power. On average, wind turbines only produce about 20% of their nameplate rating.
• Wind power is unreliable and undispatchable. When it is needed most, it will likely be unavailable to provide any power at all.
• Wind power is not clean. It takes a lot of dirty energy to make the materials, manufacture and install a wind turbine facility.
• Wind turbines are not environmentally friendly. They are noisy, unsightly, kill bats and birds, interfere with radars, and have been shown to be responsible for a slew of health problems.
• Wind turbines consume electricity whether operating or not. Often this power is not even metered. Care to guess who is paying the bill for this power?
• In theory, if 20% of US electric generation was replaced by wind power, the decrease in CO2 emissions would be an unnoticeable 0.00948%.
• In reality, wind power doesn't reduce CO2 emissions at all, because backup fossil power plants have to cycle wildly and inefficiently trying to keep up with erratic wind power output.
• Wind power will not replace fossil fired power plants. Germany estimates that by 2020 up to 96% of its wind power capacity will need to be backed up by new coal fired power plants.
• Wind power will not reduce US dependency on foreign oil. If wind power replaced 20% of US electric generation, the resulting decrease in oil imports would be a measly 0.292%.
• Wind turbines have an embarrassingly low Energy Returned On Energy Invested value of 0.29. The manufacture, installation and operation of wind power facilities will consume more than 3 times the energy they will ever produce.
Wind Power is Big Business. The big winners will be developers, land owners, brokerage houses, banks, manufacturers, governments, the "green" movement, environmentalists, researchers, academia, and the news media. The big losers will be the taxpayers and electric bill payers.

we arrived in southern California in time for my fifth birthday in 1959, celebrated at Palm Springs. when the windmills came out there I felt a visceral revulsion; my leftist friend waxed poetic.
now these metal monsters march the Chisholm Trail and across Blue Duck's escarpment in the Llano Estacado.
an offset: one million democrats incinerated for every windmill. deal?

(why can't I go back and read the other comments after I've submitted one? of what use is it to have comments if people can't read them?)

Leftists are driving the bus off a cliff.
By Julie DeWolfe on 2023 06 28
Submission to the leftist green agenda is all the power they need to force it on you. When leftists resist, they take action and demand society comply. Consider your future under their totalitarianism, peace today is war tomorrow, War today is peace tomorrow.
