Conservation groups warn it could become the deadliest wind farm for seabirds ever built.

Just a stupid idea.

I doubt if the UK court system will allow much opposition.

The Berwick Bank offshore wind farm off Scotland's east coast has been approved. Conservation groups warn it could become the deadliest wind farm for seabirds ever built.

The government's own impact assessments predict large numbers of bird deaths, including puffins, kittywakes, gannets, guillemots and razorbills.

Despite the objections, the project was just awarded subsidies that will add £1.8 billion in green levies to UK energy bills.

The RSPB called the decision an absolute disgrace, saying public money is being used to fund one of the most damaging wind farms for wildlife on earth.

Nature is being sacrificed, in the name of saving it.​

The Leftist/Radical Conservationists have created a false god. Mother Earth is their religion and it's warped.

Wind turbines are the worst disgrace the environment movement has ever endured. Birds killed by these rotor monsters number in the Millions.

In 2021, the American Bird Conservancy estimated that collisions with wind turbines in the United States killed about 1.17 million birds that year. Imagine the number worldwide.

Hey, dead seabird, dead baby, it makes no difference to a Leftist.

Frankly, I'm surprised some leftwing animal rights group isn't speaking out how this project will cut down on the available population of seabirds eligible to be made into transgender puffins.

Frankly I'm amazed that these wind farms are not required to have something on them that warns birds or drives them away so they don't get hit by the blades, or has some sort of screen cover to keep birds out.

If they made the turbines with shorter blades and 6 blades per turbine, that alone might greatly cut down on bird incidents.
