All of this poses a big dilemma for the Left who have honed the ESA into a very sharp blade to slice their enemies to pieces and stop any development that they don’t like. They haven’t really made up their minds on wind turbines. The green energy argument runs up against the affront to their eyes when they venture out from their loft apartments to commune with nature. Now it turns out that birds and wind turbines don’t get along very well. What to do, what to do?
I personally don’t like wind turbines and find them much more offensive than an oil well or a fracking site. But let a migratory bird come to grief in your oil containment pond and you will suffer financial ruin and perhaps jail. Meanwhile wind turbines are immune from such harrassment and continue to suck up taxpayer dollars to subsidize a very inefficient energy production scheme.
