The wind power cult have no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste lands in China (where the rare earths essential to wind turbines are processed); power prices that punish the poorest and most vulnerable in society; and barely bat an eyelid at the slaughter … Continue reading Wholesale Slaughter: America’s Wind Turbines Mincing Tens of Millions of Bats Every Year

Democrats’ New Wind & Solar Deal: Promises Wholesale Environmental Destruction
The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: they love industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes. Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he or she initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and … Continue reading Democrats’ New Wind & Solar Deal: Promises Wholesale Environmental Destruction
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
Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species
Following the cancellation of 758 wind projects in Ontario, its government has further delighted locals with the decision to revoke approval for the (almost complete) Nations Rise project, at North Stormont, near Ottawa. This time the decision announced by Jeff Yurek, Ontario’s Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks, was not one based purely on the … Continue reading Bat-tered: Government Cancels Approval for Completed Wind Farm to Save Endangered Bat Species
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
Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’
Cut the subsidies and the wind industry would disappear overnight. Warren Buffett put it best: “We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.” Precisely!! Wind power makes absolutely no sense at any level: environmental, social or … Continue reading Massive & Endless Subsidies: The Only Thing That Makes Wind Power ‘Sustainable’
Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
One issue that annoys RE zealots, like a burr under a frisky pony’s saddle blanket, is the wind industry’s rampant bird and bat slaughter. It’s an inconvenient truth to be sure. But, as with everything that the wind industry does, if you can’t keep a straight face while lying about it any more, then pull … Continue reading Pointless Destruction: The Appalling Environmental Cost of Wind Power
Menace to Society: Costly, Chaotic Wind Power Delivers Nothing But Community Division & Bird & Bat Carnage
Anyone looking for reasons to hate wind power, is spoiled for choice. Heavily subsidised, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human beings developed, harnessed and perfected thermal … Continue reading Menace to Society: Costly, Chaotic Wind Power Delivers Nothing But Community Division & Bird & Bat Carnage
