Wind farms, Endangered Species and Green Hypocrisy

 Clive Hambler 5 January 2013 61 Comments

…..Wind farms are devastating populations of rare birds and bats across the world, driving some to the point of extinction. Most environmentalists just don’t want to know. Because they’re so desperate to believe in renewable energy, they’re in a state of denial. But the evidence suggests that, this century at least, renewables pose a far greater threat to wildlife than climate change……. Every year in Spain alone …..between 6 and 18 million birds and bats are killed by wind farms. They kill roughly twice as many bats as birds. This breaks down as approximately 110–330 birds per turbine per year and 200–670 bats per year…..in December 2002 by the California Energy Commission [in 1993 state that] bird deaths per turbine per year were as high as 309 in Germany and 895 in Sweden…… In Australia, the Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle is threatened with global extinction by wind farms. In north America, wind farms are killing tens of thousands of raptors including golden eagles and America’s national bird, the bald eagle. In Spain, the Egyptian vulture is threatened, as too is the Griffon vulture — 400 of which were killed in one year at Navarra alone. Norwegian wind farms kill over ten white-tailed eagles per year…German turbines…kill more than 200,000 bats a year... with 40,000 MW of turbines currently installed in the US and Canada…. [may cause] an annual death toll of up to three -million....To Read More....

My Take - Why is it that so many are totally unaware of this?  Well....that's an easy question to answer.  It's a conspiracy!  I know ....I know there is no such thing as a conspiracy.  The problem I have with that is this; why then isn’t there greenie demonstrators out in the streets ranting in sack cloth and ashes telling the press, the general public and the owners of these windmills that they are destroying the Earth?

 Why is it there are no demonstrators on the steps of the Capitol.....anywhere in the world I might add.....screaming that disaster is upon us because of this?  Normally their argument is that every one of the members of these species groups are so important to the survival of all things on Earth that no expense must be spared in order to save each and every one of them.  

Why is it that when they march and rant over some beetle that they speculate 'may' have survival problems if the pipeline is run from Canada to the U.S. bringing much needed oil, but ignore the real and provable devastation going on within the 'alternative energy' community?

Why is it the World Wildlife Fund ran TV commercials (expensive commercials) all through the Christmas season begging for money to save the polar bear from extinction.  An extinction that they claim is being caused by global warming.  In spite of the fact there is no global warming now taking place, nor have polar bears ever been in danger of extinction at any time due to any climatic changes in all of history.  And that is now an established fact.  Strange don’t you think?  

Is it possible that these demonstrations, which have been against ________ (fill in the blank) in the past weren't spontaneous after all?  Is it possible these past demonstrations had nothing to do with reality of factuality? Is it possible that there is a small controlling elite that determines what is vile enough for demonstrations?  And is it possible that this ‘elite’ seems to have worldwide control over these demonstrations?

Nah….can’t be true because that would imply a conspiracy….and we know there is no such thing as a conspiracy.  I have one more question.

Is it possible that the green movement is filled with irrational, misanthropic and morally dysfunctional people?
