Oh Matthew. what say you?
SNIP:
It’s been five years since BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and released 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
Environmentalists are highlighting the disaster by pointing to the 800,000 birds that have died because of the spill in the five years since the disaster, but activists have been eerily silent about the fact that way more birds have been killed by wind turbines — a supposedly “eco-friendly” energy source.
The liberal blog Mother Jones reports that 800,000 birds have been killed and the Pelican population in the Gulf has decreased 12 percent. While the 2010 Gulf spill was indeed a horrible disaster, the number of birds that died pales in comparison the number killed in the last five years due to wind turbines.
A 2013 study found that 573,000 birds and 888,000 bats are killed every year by wind turbines — a figure 30 percent higher than the federal government estimated in 2009. These deaths have likely increased as wind power capacity increases across the country.
“I estimated 888,000 bat and 573,000 bird fatalities/year (including 83,000 raptor fatalities) at 51,630 megawatt (MW) of installed wind-energy capacity in the United States in 2012,” writes K. Shawn Smallwood, author of the study that was published in the Wildlife Society Bulletin.

Wind Turbines Kill More Birds Than BP Oil Spill The Daily Caller
I notice Conservatives only seem to notice- and pretend to care about bird deaths- when it comes to alternative energy.
I wonder why they never seem concerned about the major causes of bird deaths- chief of which of course is habitat loss- but the other causes

Funny...habitat loss isnt listed?
But shooting all feral cats would do wonders apparently.
Wind turbines never destroyed a regional economy.
They dont do anything for it either. But they do a fantastic job of ruining the scenery.
Oil
Coal
Those pumpjacks dont appear to be 328 feet tall.
And not only that the pumpjacks will eventually be gone.
And they'll be there forever..or until the tax subsidies die and they eventually fall down from lack of maintenance.

No, conservatives are just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. that's all.

Yes, all those dead birds, you old witch;Three reasons why I support wind...
1. It is a infite resource! I love living in civilization and the finite sources like coal aren't going to be around forever.
2. Cars, planes, buildings kill a hell of a lot more!
3. Coal, oil and natural gas causes cancer. Wind doesn't...I care about human health!
and all them dead birds?
Bullshit. There are a bunch of wheat farmers that will contest that along the Columbia east of The Dallas. And those mills are producing power for both Oregon and California.Wind turbines never destroyed a regional economy.
They dont do anything for it either. But they do a fantastic job of ruining the scenery.

A chart showing estimated numbers of birds killed annually by each of several different causes. Data from various sources.
This chart and the following text were prepared in 2003. Any updates would be welcome.
Staph, you don't give a flying fuck about birds. You are simply against any kind of progress, technological or social.
Pretty much from The Dallas to Pendleton. And now in the Grande Ronde valley. If we were smart, we would throw a large power line across southern Oregon, and pick up wind, solar, and geothermal from that area.

99.9% of the population of the state wouldn't ever see them either.
No, time to figure a way to prevent the birds from flying into the windows. Same for the birds and bats with windmills. We can do this, and should do this.
