And the Greenie zealots response to this? “They will just have to learn to fly around the windmills”. Idiots

You're such a dipshit.
We have to have energy, and it's going to take a LOT of evidence to show that wind turbines are more damaging to the environment per kWh than any other source.
So just to recap what you've brought to the table, here we see that 50 wind farms totaling hundreds of turbines only killed 150 eagles over the course of a decade. That is an incredibly small amount of damage, dwarfed by the amount of damage saved by not having to burn countless tons of shite.

What the frick are you babbling about? And what difference does it make to the birds?
When is the last time you heard of a window or feral cat killing an eagle?

Et tu, power lines?

Feeling like you are doing something is more important than indiscriminately killing wild animals
I get your point, but its kind of nonsense to criticize wind turbines for killing wild animals indiscriminately when the deepwater horizon oil spill alone probably killed more wildlife than all of wind/solar combined to date.
there are plenty of reasons why 100% renewable energy isnt viable in the near future, but wildlife danger is a moronic argument for an oil/gas supporter to make.

This is just Darwinism at work. Weeding out the stupid eagles that fly into shite so that the smarter ones may reproduce. Soon we'll have ultra intelligent eagles running this country rather than lizards

Money grab by the largest organized criminal enterprise in the United States.
Steve Miller knew……
I want to fly like an eagle, to the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly (oh, yeah)
Fly right into the windmill.
Have the airlines been sued for sucking numerous birds into their engines?

One oil spill kills thousands of animals and taints their habitat for years but frick wind farms!
Flip that statement, and it still works.
No energy source is perfect, but estimates on the number of birds and bats killed each year by wind farms far exceeds the number killed by oil spills.
High rise apartments and office buildings kill more birds each year than oil spills, but God forbid any hippy environmentalist speak out against their precious home.

The most conservative estimates have annual wind farm bird and bat deaths over 700k.
Even the most liberal estimates of the BP impacts would be surpassed very quickly with those kind of annual numbers.
Neither one is great from a wildlife standpoint. But wind farms seemingly get a pass because they are "renewable energy".

Is this just the usa?
Posted on 4/7/22 at 5:23 am to BobMayonnaise
let us know when a wind mill powers up a jet airliner or a commuter train.

Solar farms need to be on there as well.

And not one new osha guideline will be made because wind farms is the shiny new money laundering toy for the federal government
