Wind farms, a benefit for all.

[Jimmy_Chitwood]

While the GOP continues to fight a sane path to virtually unlimited energy, many people are already benefitting from the turbines.

Without Obamas exemption for letting turbines kill bald eagles and other raptors turbines would be illegal. There is no benefit at all, just hate

For all you damned hypocritical "Conservatives" that only give a damn about birds when it is politically expedient, when are you going to address the real killers of birds?

Wind is unreliable. Just like solar.

We are at least 5 decades from getting off fossil fuels. Get used to the idea and quit peddling snake oil.

Were there more people around like you in the 1900's, we would still be riding horses.

Abstract​

Environmentalists and environmental scientists have criticized wind energy in various forums for its negative impacts on wildlife, especially birds. This article highlights that nuclear power and fossil-fuelled power systems have a host of environmental and wildlife costs as well, particularly for birds. Therefore, as a low-emission, low-pollution energy source, the wider use of wind energy can save wildlife and birds as it displaces these more harmful sources of electricity. The paper provides two examples: one relates to a calculation of avian fatalities across wind electricity, fossil-fueled, and nuclear power systems in the entire United States. It estimates that wind farms are responsible for roughly 0.27 avian fatalities per gigawatt-hour (GWh) of electricity while nuclear power plants involve 0.6 fatalities per GWh and fossil-fueled power stations are responsible for about 9.4 fatalities per GWh. Within the uncertainties of the data used, the estimate means that wind farm-related avian fatalities equated to approximately 46,000 birds in the United States in 2009, but nuclear power plants killed about 460,000 and fossil-fueled power plants 24 million. A second example summarizes the wildlife benefits from a 580-MW wind farm at Altamont Pass in California, a facility that some have criticized for its impact on wildlife. The paper lastly highlights other social and environmental benefits to wind farms compared to other sources of electricity and energy.

So that is all you have left? What a complete dumb fuck you are. Wind power is here to stay, and will a major part of our energy production.

What is sad is observing an intellect so limited that it actually believes this is an adequate response to a debate on wind power.

While the GOP continues to fight a sane path to virtually unlimited energy, many people are already benefitting from the turbines.

In areas where the massive high turbines are active there are severe losses of Ospreys which are in flight, some of the most beautiful raptors on earth. Profession ornithologists, bird lovers, and ecologists have felt the structures are not only grossly ugly they are hell on endangered bird species and in that they are creating endangered species. What would people in the Rockies plains do without meadow larks cheering up and populating the lone prairies in the more desolate tribal and arctic desert regions?
This conservative thinks that whatever it takes to restore the Osprey population already inching them to utter extinction is something we should examine to prevent ospreys from decimation. Perhaps a grid to cover the wind farm would be a salvation for these precious creatures.

Wind is almost as inefficient as solar:

What a dumb ass post. OK, by rated best output, wind and solar are not that efficient. Yet, in cost per watt, they beat all but hydropower, which is also a renewable.
