Wind Turbines Are Climate-Change Scarecrows
By Robert Bryce, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute
For years, the wind-energy sector and
renewable-energy advocates have repeatedly claimed that wind turbines
are essential to the fight against carbon dioxide emissions and
catastrophic climate change. Here’s the reality: Wind turbines are
nothing more than climate-change scarecrows...
Over
the past few years, the U.S. and other countries have been subsidizing
the paving of vast areas of the countryside with 500-foot-high bird- and bat-killing
whirligigs that are nothing more than climate talismans. Wind turbines
are not going to stop changes in the earth’s climate. Instead, they are
token gestures — giant steel scarecrows — that are deceiving the public
into thinking that we as a society are doing something to avert the
possibility of catastrophic climate change.
