Un-possible, AOC says wind power will save the erf.

millions from turbines at most

I used to work with a guy who retired from my employer and went to work for Ivanpah. From the start, the plant absolutely destroyed birds...incinerated them in flight. Ivanpah was funded by several highly profitable companies, including Google. Last I knew, it was the only plant of its kind in the US.

Deforestation is responsible for most of the bird population decline.

Not just birds.

Bats are being slaughtered. The European bat is on the verge of extinction.

Insects are also being decimated. Bees are dying off near wind turbines, but few discuss it.

Not only are they eyesores, wind turbines are decimating our environment.

Do those birds contain carbon? Yes? Then they’re bad birds. The Earth Goddess is better off without them.

The bottom line is that the average American can’t afford property on salt water and doesn’t have a reason to care about hypothetical rising sea levels from hypothetical global warming.

If you own a $5 million beachfront house spend $100,000 to raise it up and don’t make electricity for average folks cost more.

I must say.... this is a pleasant surprise to know that cats are not being blamed for the majority of bird deaths!

[mythenjoseph]

So just try and ponder the insects and other food sources of these birds that will no longer be trimmed and with the loss of these great creatures (birds) we will eventually see a severe unbalancing of numerous eco-systems and it will not be nice as far as we are concerned. I personally am in favor of a coal/natural gas combination along with Hydro and let the Nuclear plants run their expected lives and hopefully by then we can transition into a new technology for electric generation . The solar and wind scams are hurting everything on all aspects and Mother Nature can be very swift with retribution ....

Death by Renewable Energy.

[vetvetdoug]

The laws of unintended consequences. Ban horse meat, get mistreatment of horses throughout the US because they have no intrinsic worth. Solar and turbine energy and one gets millions of bird deaths, more than what would have happened if wood and coal had been used. Ban DDT and malaria comes back more virulent and more resistant to antibiotics and mosquitoes more resistant to insecticides. Liberals don't know how to leave shit alone and screw up everything they put their grubby mittens upon.

[Secretmtcman1]

Our energy supply needs are like a cake. The only thing wind and solar can ever be is the frosting.

[ßuddaßudd]

and my cats are walking around looking guilty for no reason ..

[Rio]

Bats, too...

Solar and wind farms were destined to be a disaster. Long-term conclusions about its benefits were based on short-term data.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if just once those that are intent to save the planet told us what they as individuals are going to do to conserve energy and the environment?

[Vaquero]

It’s a leftist plot to destroy all the American Bald Eagles

[DouglasKC]

I don't disbelieve this but I wonder why? I mean a certain number of birds are killed by cars and trucks which are fast moving objects. But most birds get out of way. And there are a gajillion cars and trucks.

By comparison there are FAR fewer windmills yet somehow the birds can't avoid the slow moving blades??? Doesn't make sense to me.

[Vaquero]

I don’t see the 10 Lb cat next door dragging home bald eagles or barn owls
