Do you have a list of accidents when a drill bit is broken at an oil rig?

 

[rightwinger]

Yes because oil is so safe

No, do you have a list of every drill bit broken at a whirlybird ranch?

How many birds die from an oil spill every year?

Wind turbines kill up to half a million per year, in America alone:
“The most comprehensive and statistically sound estimates show that bird deaths from turbine collisions are between 140,000 and 500,000 birds per year.”

You should stop using fossil fuels.
That means never using a computer or phone again.
Put up or shut up.

To me the question is not about the safety of wind turbines vs oil rigs

but rather the greenies determination to use government to decide the winners and losers rather than the free market

if gates and soros and the other lib billionaires were spending their money to build windmills instead of influence politicians I would not object to their goofy ideas

Instead they want me to pay for their mistakes

The fact the California coast is dominated by rich Democrats and there are ZERO wind turbines on the California coast says it all.

Just like Teddy Kennedy not allowing windmills near his home in Mass

Possibly. The constant noise can cause chronic stress and sleep deprivation. That leads to a plethora of other health problems, possibly even cancer.

They cause Cancer and kill entire migratory flocks of birds. Donald Trump told me so.
