It’s time for environmentalists to stand up for birds and go against wind farms. They are a travesty on the landscape. Plus, do they even work...

“...booming alternative energy source.”

Booming? Only because of loony libs. When we all realize it hardly is efficient (too much “cost” for too little return), it won’t be booming.

“Wind farms have been killing birds for decades and law enforcement has done nothing about it, so this investigation is long overdue,” said Shawn Smallwood, an expert on raptor ecology and wind farms. “It’s going to ruffle wind industry feathers across the country.”

I think I’m going to go spread dead birds underneath any windmills I can find. Would that be eco-terrorism?

Only in Taxifornia. The mindless libs scream for alternative energy then they find this kind of reason to not have it. They don’t say anything about the millions of fish being killed by the pumps that steal the water from the north state and pump it down to the “foreigners” in the Los Angeles area....the Taxifornia Delta is being destroyed ecologically by these same liberal fools (the south state votes heavily DemoRat) all for votes at the bottom line.

The state is financially dead, like the country in general, but not with the record setting numbers that the DemoRats have run up in Taxifornia. This once was a great state when it was run by responsible, caring conservatives -— not a bunch of vote-pandering, power-crazy liberals.

Will Biden call Power’s Pine Tree Wind Project “eco-terrorists” ?

By killing off the eagles and other raptors the rodent population increases. If you have a windmill farm in your area you will have more rats and mice on your property.

Just wait - someone will get a $500 million grant to determine what to put on signs that birds will understand.

THEN $2 Trillion to erect signs warning the birds of the danger...

Yeah, they have to investigate the REEEEEEEEEAAAAAALLLLY important things, like a bunch of worthless birds getting killed, because that’s a SERIOUS crime...

But....

Something minor and inconsequential like US FedGoon agencies with the full knowledge and blessing of the White House ad the DOJ smuggling American semi-auto firearms across the border into Mexico, and American law enforcement agents getting murdered by those same guns - all for the express purpose of undermining our Constitutional right -

Nah....Not so much.

We just drove from Northwest Florida to Salt Lake City. During the third day of the drive we were in Kansas and I saw an area with a whole bunch of these ugly windmills. A little while later, we passed an area that had several oil wells pumping away. I couldn’t help noting that the windmills dominated the landscape while the oil wells were almost unobtrusive. I also figured one of those oil wells probably produced as much or more energy than the whole batch of windmill monstrosities we had just passed.
