Millions of Bird & Bats SLAUGHTERED annually by industrial wind - for NO justifiable reason!

FACT: Millions of
Bird & Bats SLAUGHTERED annually by industrial wind - for NO justifiable
reason!
We’ve all seen them – The typical, wind industry
sales pitches that try to deceive people about the massive
bird and bat slaughter that is being caused by industrial wind
factories worldwide. Like anyone suffering
from denial of bad behavior, the wind industry attempts to distract from the avian slaughter industrial
wind turbines are causing annually by pointing the finger of blame at other
sources of bird and bat deaths. This wind industry propaganda
is inaccurate for more than one reason.
The wind industry likes to claim that cars, cats,
and buildings kill more birds and bats than wind turbines do. In fact: Cars, cats and buildings do NOT typically kill Bald & Golden Eagles, condors, whooping cranes, and other raptors -- Industrial
wind turbines do!
Another fact wind industry salesmen leave out of their purposeful deception is that, when combined, there are hundreds of BILLIONS of cars, cats and buildings worldwide. Juxtapose that with the fact that there are only about 250,000 industrial wind turbines worldwide (approximately 45,100 of those are in the USA, according to the American Wind Energy Association - AWEA), and the deception becomes obvious.
Furthermore, those billions
of cars and buildings have greatly improved the quality of life for billions of people worldwide. It can even be said
that cats improve our quality of life since they keep disease-carrying rodents under control.
Industrial wind turbines do exactly the
opposite – industrializing and devaluing
entire Towns and Counties, and destroying the quality of life for those stuck
living TOO CLOSE, while providing - at best - a redundant
energy source that can NOT provide reliable, dispatchable baseload power.
Then there is the massive Habitat
Fragmentation that the sprawling footprints of industrial wind factories
create. Since habitat loss has been cited as the major cause of species
decline worldwide, the additional deaths caused by wind factory-created habitat
loss is inexcusable, and the exact opposite result true environmentalists
espouse to hold dear.
The whole fiasco becomes even more disgusting
when you consider the fact that the very reason the wind industry exists is
because of their claims that wind power will reduce CO2 emissions. Yet, CO2
emissions have NOT been significantly reduced by industrial wind factories,
nor have any conventional power plants been shuttered - anywhere, thanks to
wind. The fact is:
Industrial
wind turbines are an additive source of bird and bat deaths - for NO
justifiable reason!
Industrial wind can NOT replace our reliable,
dispatchable baseload generators because wind provides virtually NO Capacity
Value, or firm capacity (specified amounts of power on demand). Thus, wind needs constant "shadow
capacity" from our reliable generators, to cover for wind's volatile,
skittering flux on the grid; and/or to step in when the wind stops blowing,
isn't blowing hard enough, or is blowing too hard. Thus, taxpayers and
ratepayers are paying twice for the
redundant
generation
provided by these
giant "Cuisinarts of the sky" (as a Sierra
Club official dubbed wind turbines in a moment of candor).
The fact that President Obama had to sign a
special EAGLE-KILL
permit law solely for the wind industry, serves to highlight the absolute
hypocrisy of wind salesmen and proponents who claim they wish to "save the
environment," while purposely working to slaughter our national symbol –
the Bald Eagle (along with MILLIONS of other birds and bats annually) -- in the
name of this ‘green’
FRAUD.
The jig is up fellas. Industrial wind is proven to be a NET
LOSER – economically,
environmentally,
technically,
and civilly worldwide. Thus, we must insist:
