Climate Change / Re: More than 1 million trees cut down for wind turbines last year, 17 million over 24 years
« Last post by catfish1957 on Today at 06:34:01 pm »For the love of God, would all the luddites just wake up and accept that the only way to save the Earth is to destroy it? Who cares how many Raptors and other birds are slaughtered by wind turbines...(non sequitur) cats kill millions too(so who gives a crap if a few million more die) painting one blade black increases visibility...tell that to the thousands upon thousands of pollinators called bats slaughtered that fly at night and don't see the blades.
All this 'technology'/ Green energy we don't need because we have such an abundance of oil and natural gas available that has become cleaner every decade to produce electricity and power our transportation is just wet dreams of Gaia worshipers. Call me a luddite but there is some technology we just don't need, like wind turbines that are shut down because the wind is to high or there is no capacity in the grid for their generation, but while they do run they kill raptors, other birds, pollinators and oh yeah whales. Then we have solar, which is covering and eliminating from other use thousands of acres of desert(that recreational use was forbidden because nature) and an added benefit of these green solar farms is that some of them make wonderful incinerators for birds too! Why is it that when someone wants to develop areas in the California desert the Gaia worshiping greens always bitch and moan and find some plant, insect or animal to stop the project but they never give a damn about plants, insects or animals when it comes to solar?
Yup, when it comes to green bullshit you can call me a luddite and I'll wear the badge proudly.
Thanks Hawk
I'd forgot and totally overlooked the bats, which have no defense versus these killing machines.
