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

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

Wedge-Tail Wipeout: Tasmanian Wind Farms Threaten Eagle Extinction

  Cars, cats and skyscrapers don’t kill Eagles, but 60 m wind turbine blades with their tips travelling at 350 Kph routinely smash them out of existence. In Australia’s designated National Park, Tasmania, its peculiar species of Wedge-Tailed Eagle is both rare and endangered. Now it faces the existential threat of ever more and even … Continue reading Wedge-Tail Wipeout: Tasmanian Wind Farms Threaten Eagle Extinction

Industrialised Murder: Indian Study Shows Wind Turbines Slaughter 75% of Local Raptors

  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 … Continue reading Industrialised Murder: Indian Study Shows Wind Turbines Slaughter 75% of Local Raptors

‘Green’ Killing Fields: Wind Turbines Responsible for Massive & Unnecessary Bird Slaughter

  Renewable energy zealots didn’t invent hypocrisy, but they seem quite comfortable wearing it, like their very own badge of honour. If wind power was even close to being a meaningful power generation source, you might, just might justify the wave of environmental and societal destruction that comes with it. Abandoned centuries ago for pretty … Continue reading ‘Green’ Killing Fields: Wind Turbines Responsible for Massive & Unnecessary Bird Slaughter

Fact Factory: Smashing Big Wind Starts & Ends With Data & Detail

What the wind industry hates most are facts; facts about rocketing power prices, massive subsidies, chaotic intermittency, incessant noise and consequent harm to neighbour's health, the destruction of birds and bats, the destruction of underground water supplies, turbines spontaneously combusting, disintegrating or throwing their blades to the four winds. We could go on. On this … Continue reading Fact Factory: Smashing Big Wind Starts & Ends With Data & Detail

Wind Power: Unfolding Environmental Disaster – Entire Ecosystems Collapsing

As STT followers are well-aware, this site doesn’t mince its words: wind power is the greatest economic and environmental fraud in human history. Pull the subsidies, and this so-called ‘industry’ would disappear in a heartbeat. For the best part of 20 years, the wind cult has attempted to justify the hundreds of $billions squandered on … Continue reading Wind Power: Unfolding Environmental Disaster – Entire Ecosystems Collapsing
