Producing electricity at the whims of mother nature means wind power has absolutely no commercial value, at all: strangely, power consumers want electricity as and when they need it, not just when the wind happens to be blowing. Absent massive and endless subsidies, there would be no wind industry. Period. But it gets worse; … Continue reading (Un)-Natural Disaster: Industrial Wind Power Wiping Out What’s Left of America’s Wilderness

Scorched Earth Policy: Entire Forests Being Clear-Felled To Make Way For Mega-Wind Turbines
In one breath the wind industry and its acolytes talk about “saving the planet”, in the next they’re destroying it, wholesale. Millions of birds, bats and bugs are being wiped out with impunity. And millions of acres of forest have been treated with the same malicious contempt. In Scotland, since 2000, the wind industry has … Continue reading Scorched Earth Policy: Entire Forests Being Clear-Felled To Make Way For Mega-Wind Turbines
Wind Industry Wipeout: Wind Turbines Killing Millions of America’s Bats: Endangered Species Under Threat
The wind industry claims a virtuous, moral superiority, but the millions of birds and bats that it slaughters each year, no doubt, think otherwise. If wind power proponents weren’t so arrogant and sanctimonious, the fact that their beloveds slice and dice countless birds and bats and crush millions of tonnes of beneficial insects each year … Continue reading Wind Industry Wipeout: Wind Turbines Killing Millions of America’s Bats: Endangered Species Under Threat
Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Courts that aren’t biased in favour of the wind industry are rare birds, indeed. Slowly but surely, however, the law is catching up with the scope and scale of the environmental and societal harm caused whenever these things get speared into rural communities, farmland and forests. Ireland is no exception. The Emerald Isle has been … Continue reading Rare Birds: Court Scotches Wind Farm Proposal to Prevent Inevitable Bird Slaughter
Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
The silence from traditional conservation groups against the wind industry’s rampant bird slaughter is deafening. Once upon a time, hirsute, hair-shirted and sandal wearing tree huggers would die in a ditch to prevent harm to any of God’s other creatures. That was, of course, before industrial wind power hove into view. Groups like the Sierra … Continue reading Bird Battle: Conservationists Sue US Government to Stop Wind Power Bird Slaughter
Killer-App: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Entire Bird Species
While Greta frets about global incineration and mass extinctions, the wind industry is doing a very fine job of extinguishing millions of birds and bats, every year. Indeed, entire species are under threat, including Europe’s Red Kite and Tasmania’s Wedge Tailed Eagle. More generally, there’s a wave of avian carnage wherever the wind industry plies … Continue reading Killer-App: Offshore Wind Turbines Wiping Out Entire Bird Species
Colossal Carnage: US Wind Industry Killing More Than 1,000,000 Birds & Bats Every Year
The polished hypocrisy among those slavish worshippers of wind power is breathtaking. The wind industry is slaughtering millions of birds and bats every year and yet there’s barely a peep from these faux environmentalists. Sure, as James Taylor points out below, there’s the usual rubbish they dish up about skyscrapers killing more birds than … Continue reading Colossal Carnage: US Wind Industry Killing More Than 1,000,000 Birds & Bats Every Year
Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Wiping out entire forest habitats is all part of our ‘inevitable’ transition to a wind powered future. Across Germany, millions of acres of forest have been clear-felled and great swathes cut through others, to allow some 29,000 of these things to be speared across Deutschland. The same is happening in the Green Mountain State, … Continue reading Green Hypocrisy Writ Large: Wind Industry’s Wholesale Destruction of Entire Forest Habitats
Deadly Dawn: ‘Transition’ to Wind Powered Future Means Wholesale Bird & Bat Slaughter
The wind cult works overtime to avoid the bloody reality that their beloveds are responsible for millions of bird and bat deaths, every year. Lying, dissembling and attempting to bury the evidence is just the start. There follows a game of moral equivalence, asserting that more bats and birds are clobbered by cars, cats and … Continue reading Deadly Dawn: ‘Transition’ to Wind Powered Future Means Wholesale Bird & Bat Slaughter
Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles – like the critically endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle, but 60m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350Kph routinely smash them out of existence. The current crop of well-fed and poorly educated teens raging against the evil patriarchy and its grand conspiracy to cook the planet and … Continue reading Wind Power Wipeout: Monster Wind Farm Threatens Rare & Endangered Eagles
