Seabirds are abandoning waters with wind turbines, and 256,000 have already vanished without a trace
Something strange is happening offshore.

In areas where wind turbines now rise from the water, entire flocks of seabirds are no longer there. Not fewer. Not scattered.

Gone.

At first, it wasn’t obvious. These are vast stretches of ocean, and movement is part of nature. But over time, researchers began to notice a pattern that was hard to ignore.

Hundreds of thousands of birds had abandoned waters they once depended on.

So what changed?

How offshore wind farms altered the landscape

Easy to vanish in the ocean after getting chopped into little pieces by the blades

I hope there is some point in my life time that I get to see the enviro-whackos held accountable for the $Trillions wasted by their scam.  I mean, I want to see them get some serious jail time.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Looks like they aren't much more than a giant fish feeding machine.

Wyoming has a secret eagle-kill organization

That's crazy.  Raptors are important  predators who thankfully keep the rodent population at bay out west.  I went out west a few years ago, and the number of turbines polluting the beautiful landscapes  is disgusting. 

If we get a bubonic or hantavirus epidemic anytime soon, we'll know where to start the root cause.
