Birds hit by the turbine blades travel much further. That is why the wind industry and FWS have mortality studies that only look in a small areas around these turbines. The Smola wind farm in Norway has these same Siemens...
-
People have to face the fact that Environmental groups the Sierra Club and Audubon no longer have much to do with their founders. The have charitable status but they are really a political enterprise marketing the environment to the public....
-
For the wind industry rules and laws mean nothing. About the only law I have seen them obey is the unwritten law that says "don't get caught". The early mortality studies conducted at Altamont Pass only helped the industry shore...
-
When the feds weigh in, is when things can get really ugly. They have been instructed to not get in the ways of these renewable energy businesses. Submitting formal letters of concern means nothing and it is just pretending on...
-
Just remember wind power works great if you are being paid to sell it. Wind power works great if politicians can help the industry food chain steal tax credits from taxpayers and then turn around and reward them again with...
-
My experience with the wind industry is that nothing is as it seems and every statement has to be scrutinized. No one should ever ignore the fact that taking billions and billions in profits off the taxpayer's backs, is a...
-
I recently reviewed a bogus mortality study handed to me by some very concerned citizens. Looking at the factors and flaws of the study, in my opinion there was a kill rate of 500-600 fatalities per MW per Year. The...
-
The wind industry and FWS are quick to point out how dangerous power lines are to all birds including eagles and condors. But there really is a huge difference between the killing power of turbine blades and power lines, unless...
-
I looked over SB 516. Taking a few hawk nests off of power poles has nothing to do with their real intentions. Corporations want to give themselves a special waiver so they can continue their onslaught against the wildlife impacted...
-
Excellent Article. People need to realize the FWS is NOT what they appear to be. If it were up to me most of the upper levels of this agency would be immediately fired, have their names out there for everybody...
-
Is Governor Brown really looking out for our best interests or is he peddling turbines we do not need? Here is another sobering look at the marketing of green energy and why we need a moratorium on all wind projects...
-
I wonder if Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is going to answer the letter (below) sent by to him by Whooping Crane Conservation Association (WCCA) . Or will the Dept. of Interior dodge this problem.That would not be a good idea...

-
The people at MIT are right on the money. We have to change course and valuable time and resources are being wasted. They know wind energy is not going to save anyone or have any impact on climate change. It...
-
I should also comment on this statement from the AWEA "based on a recent analysis of publicly available studies conducted at over 100 wind farms, it is estimated that less than 150,000 birds annually are killed by wind power generation."...
-
Readers can learn from their neighbors to the north about the wind industry. After a wind energy company destroyed a Bald eagle nest a few days ago, people in Canada are wondering how the Ministry of Natural Resources could allow...
-
The only thing that can save the wind industry is corruption. I say this because over the last several years enough evidence has surfaced against the wind industry to shut down every one of their projects. At the very least...
-
There never should have been any tax credits for this industry. I happen to know the secret California Condor deal was cut (they call it mitigation) between the wind industry, the USFWS , the CA DFG, and several conservation groups...
-
The "non-compliance with BLM reporting requirements" most likely means that this wind farm could not get approval because of the rapidly disappearing golden eagle population in Southern CA. Wind industry studies have kept this hidden, but now the word is...
-
Across the world people are finally waking up to the decades of deceit and the horrific impacts caused by the wind industry. All this would have happened much sooner if conservation groups like the Sierra Club did not sell-out their...
-
Here is a quick analysis of "The wind industry mortality scam." A few days ago ABC Birds proclaimed this wind project to be the deadliest in North America http://www.abcbirds.org/newsandreports/releases/121017.html "Based on the 2011 data, Criterion estimates that if the project...
