And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. How many years had that POS stood there, unready non-functional, still killing birds. Unlike all oil and gas rigs, most communities (like ours) are finding out there's no money in the kitty to pay for disassembly and landscape mitigation.
The tin foil hat brigade are out in force again I see. Uneducated fools. Do the research before posting stupid comments. Bird deaths from wind turbines represent a tiny fraction of the birds killed annually in other ways, like flying into buildings or caught by prowling house cats, which past studies have estimated kill up to 988 million3 and 4 billion4 birds each year, respectively. Other studies have shown that many more birds—between 12 and 64 million each year—are killed in the U.S. by power lines, which connect wind and other types of energy facilities to people who use the electricity.
“Green Energy” is a lie. It doesn’t exist. All energy pollutes. That “green” wind generator will never reproduce the energy used to create it. They are useful if no other energy source is available, but don’t try and sell me that green energy lie. Exchanging one form of pollution for another is not “green”. Birds? Minimal issue.
We are big mad because subsidizing wind power is communism (or some other ism we don't understand). One the other hand we have no problem with our tax dollars going to subsidize oil companies. You know oil companies? Those companies that are famously poor. The companies whose owners and CEOs can barely afford to put food on the table. Those guys deserve OUR tax dollars.
Some of you guys are making no effort to hide how unintelligent you are!
I rest my case…. Plus do the energy footprint on digging, extracting, transporting, processing, refining, transporting, manufacturing, transporting, assembling and placing/erecting all those materials in the shape of a windmill… and oh yes, the continual servicing manpower, materials and transportation…
As a general rule don't take science, health, politics, religion, etc advise from TV shows or movies. It is hardly ever accurate and created for entertainment value.
In the movie Armageddon, NASA spends a couple of months teaching oil workers how to become astronauts so that they can drill a hole on an asteroid. Wouldn't it be easier to teach astronauts how to drill holes on? Yes, it would have been easier to teach astronauts how to drill hole in the ground, but then the movie would have lasted 13 minutes and would have been a lot less entertaining.
I’ve seen where some companies are toppling them with explosives instead of dismantling them with cranes. Trying to save a buck with no regard to the environmental impact left behind.
who's going to remove the 1000+ cubic yards of concrete and the 180+ tons of rebar in said concrete base when windmill is shot. will end up a superfund site. Us farmers will end up farming around the damn things for generations
Drill baby drill. I’ve raised a family and now a grandchild working on a natural gas pipeline for close to 48 years. I hope I have a few more left in me.

Keep drinking that kool-aid, bud

Virtue-signaling waste of taxpayer dollars.
ReplyDeleteIt was all a money vast federal tax money laundering scheme for the benefit of the criminal global elite crime gang members.

Talk about the black hole of energy alternatives…
