So all industrial wind farms do is; destroy pristine landscapes, kill
birds and bats and make rent - seeking corporatists very rich.
Bird lovers have long criticized the number of
birds and bats killed by wind turbines
and the proposition of humongous facilities
makes conservation groups nervous.
That problem — * exasperated sigh * — is this: if the RSPB is really concerned about the potential disturbance to wildlife of a few noisy lorries
and drill rigs (which, let's not forget, are only up for a short period, after which they are replaced by a silent extraction device called a Christmas tree), how come it's so cheerfully complacent about the epic numbers of rare
birds and protected
bats which are sliced
and diced (or, in the case of
bats, barotraumatised — i.e.
made to implode) by the industrial wind turbines which the RSPB not only champions but from which it benefits financially.
On 12 January 2012, at the First Scientific Congress on Wind Energy
and Wildlife Conservation in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, the Spanish Society of Ornithology (SEO / Birdlife)
made public its estimate that, yearly, Spain's 18,000 wind turbines may be killing 6 to 18 million
birds and bats (1).
Studies also show with certainty that given good physical condition, large numbers of migratory
birds and bats cross the lake, many of them
making the long journey after stopping at the shoreline to rest
and feed.»
G)-- However lax
and inefficient are the proposed Guidelines,
making them voluntary is yet another concession to the FAC, i.e. to windfarm developers,
and against
bird and bat species of concern.
As the industry has matured, turbines have grown larger,
making them far more powerful while at the same time safer for
birds and bats.
As someone who has a lot of respect for the animal kingdom, there is nothing about wind farms that
makes my blood boil more than the hypocrisy
and double standard associated with the killing of
birds and bats that these wind farms are allowed to get away with.

Post-operation, the numbers of
bat deaths
and bird kills far exceed what was expected from the wind turbines, noise complaints are being
made more frequently as a result of more powerful turbines,
and wind power companies have abused their approvals by removing trees from protected woodlands, for example, or placing turbines on sites not consistent with the approvals.
Unbiased studies into
bird and bat impact, the effect of wind farms on property values, noise, sunlight - chopping, etc. should also be
made easily
and freely available.
* the amount of
bird deaths,
bat deaths
and the small comparative amount of CO2 actually offset by the use of wind turbines does not
make sense.
And the same for solar and wind, etc — let's not put solar power plants in the middle of wildlife sanctuaries, let's protect birds and bats, but maybe we devote resources to identifying places where solar and wind can go that have the energy resource and are not too ecologically sensitive, and give the industry a roadmap sooner rather than later so that it can make pla

The V2 turbines are
made from steel
and aircraft - grade aluminum, are said to be quiet (less than 5 decibels over ambient noise levels), vibration - free, safe for
birds and bats,
and need no grid power to start spinning.
The expert quoted for the article
made the following statement «Biologically significant impacts to any
bird or
bat species, including those that are endangered
and threatened, are highly unlikely».
Trust us, watching them swoop, swirl
and call (the sound
bats make) around your garden on a summer's evening once the
birds are tucked up for the night is pretty cool
and a spectacular site - just ask Dracula!
