Question

Are we going to ban windmills when a spotted-owl gets shredded up in one of them?

Answer 1

I have no doubt that in a few years the same environmentalists who are demanding wind power are going to be the same activists who will make the claim that wind turbines are taking too much energy from the atmosphere causing wind patterns to change which is causing droughts and floods, warming and cooling.

They will call this phenomena "Global Calming" and demand tearing down of all wind power.

Never forget that the whole purpose of this "man made" global warming BS is to tear down the infrastructure of our nations and to get us living back in the stone age,

Answer 2

I know that Cape Cod has already said no to windmills. I believe their answer was based on aesthetics rather than the animals, but either way, some places are not agreeing to having them.

Answer 3

Environments groups have already stop the power lines from the wind mills to the cities. Building power lined hurt critters

Answer 4

I heard on the radio several years that a environmentalist group petitioned to have a windmill farm built somewhere in the southwest and as it was running, an animal rights group had it stopped because birds were flying into the blades.  They were battling it out in court the last I heard.

Sort of goes with the question, "What happens when a environmentalist and an animal rights activist are both watching an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?"

Didn't a spotted owl require old growth forest to live in only to find a family of them living in a nest inside of a K-Mart sign?

Answer 5

I hope not.  I also don't think birds are that stupid, only people for thinking it.

Answer 6

i dont think so but it could happen

Answer 7

Fraid so. There are a lot of NIMBYs out there that have great ideas on what to use for power and then shut themselves down on their own arguments.

I've already heard detailed complaints about the noise the wind generators make as well as killing birds and of course, no one wants to see those terrible transmission lines. Let's face it. You just cant satisfy a group that is virtually insane to a person.

Can't take them serious.

Answer 8

If wind turbines were useful that would be an acceptable price to pay for their power but since they aren't the bird deaths probably aren't worth it.

Although I'm more concerned with the human deaths caused by wind power, an alarming number of people die installing and maintaining the things (at least compared to the energy they produce).

They also aren't very nice to live near with the infrasonics and strobe light shadows.

Answer 9

We deploy windmills with better, more eco-friendly designs and measures.
