Bye Bye Birdie

I honestly don’t understand how birds can fly into trees and land on a limb in the blowing wind, yet not see windmill blades.

[Gosh I love this neighborhood]

L O L!

Your post #10 says it. These things are the creepiest damn things and I could not really explain why. You explain it well.

Different mod.

I wonder how much breast meat you get off one of those?

It is a false idol, a tower of babble to Progressivism, Obama, and Gore, and believing in something that doesn't work, like all the forms of Communism.

I see it a little differently.

I see them as monuments to crony capitalism.

These wind turbines show what can be done when a crony capitalist sees an opportunity to make money by taking advantage of a moment in time when activist for a given cause have created in government a coalition to accomplish a given end.

These opportunists then buy access to legislators with campaign cash and promises of more to come if legislation is written so as to pick the pockets of the taxpayers to benefit the crony capitalist.

At least with wind turbines there are visible signs of the greed of the crony capitalist and politicians. With something like Ethanol there is only the extra cost of your fuel and repair cost for your car.

They do see them.

But the bird can not judge the speed of the turbine blades.

I have read that the tip of the biggest turbines exceed 200 miles per hour.
