Environmentalists call out double standards between farmers and wind farms

Central Queensland’s first wind power farm has now installed over 30 wind turbines, but one environmental group said they see a “double standard” between wind farms and their neighbours.

Squadron Energy’s Clarke Creek Wind Farm is located between Mackay and Rockhampton, along the Broadsound range. Acting general manager of delivery at Squadron Energy, Dan Banovic, said in a statement they have between 350-400 contractors on site working daily.

“We recently celebrated the successful installation of our 33rd wind turbine in Stage One of the project and we’re looking forward to reaching our halfway milestone before the end of the year,” Mr Banovic said. “We are on track to reach construction completion by the second quarter of next year.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

DO they have protected birds in Australia?

If so, I guarantee the farmers and wind farms are not on equal legal footing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The eradication of protected species and other wildlife are nothing more than collateral damage to the envirowhackos in pursuit of this green nonsense.
All you have to do is look here in the US for proof of that.

The wind turbines only kill the dumb birds.

All living things are potential sources of methane.  Life on Earth must be eliminated to save Mother Gaia from herself.

Rhetorical question, really. If a farmer went out and killed the same number of the same species any one wind turbine gets in a year, they'd be jailed for life.
