"There are many other types of renewable energy sources which have better potential than windmills. They are ugly, they are costly, they are intrusive, and they are inefficient. Plus, they might be killing some of the rarest animals on the planet."
Have you heard the big dust they are having on many of the northern Atlantic states? It is another boner pulled by Biden and company. In Biden's zest to rid the planet of fossil fuels and convert us to green renewables (even if they don't work that well), we might be sacrifice our whale population. And maybe part of our recovering eagle population. Wait - what? Are not greenies nature lovers also? I thought so, but they are getting ready to sacrifice something very special, for a made-up scheme and hoax.
For some reason, Biden and company think that peppering the east coast with ginormous windmills will make a difference for us. New flash - they won't. Sure, the longer blades (these giants will have blades which are 351 feet long) are better than the short blades, but sitting on top of an 850-foot structure is far from picturesque. In fact, these Halide X Turbines are downright ugly.
What about the whales then? Even though the industry STRONGLY disagrees, as does Biden's NOAA agency, since 2016, 176 Humpback whales have died. Some by boat strikes, some by natural (or un-natural) causes. In any event, the number of dead whales which have been washing up on shore is alarming.
Here are the facts of life. This very powerful industry, backed by sophistic arguments set forth by the Biden administration, lie and distort. Ever since windmills started popping up around the country, the number of dead birds has also increased. The American Bird Conservancy estimates that over the past three decades, over 2,000 eagles have been killed by these windmills. Just when eagles are starting to make a comeback, the wind industry is killing them.
There are many other types of renewable energy sources which have better potential than windmills. They are ugly, they are costly, they are intrusive, and they are inefficient. Plus, they might be killing some of the rarest animals on the planet. But who cares? Joe likes them, and that is all that matters.
What can I say other than "stupid is as stupid does." All the money being spent on windmills, while countless studies show that the total lifecycle CO2 reduction is NEGATIVE, could and should have been spent bringing far better technologies to market. All renewable, all very low CO2 emissions (not that such even matters), far cheaper and better for the environment. That would include things like breeder reactors (7000 YEARS WORTH), thorium breeder reactors (EVEN MORE), lithium fusion, thorium batteries, and garbage-to-electricity (+liquid fuel!) using magneto hydrodynamics. They are not even solving the problem they are purporting to solve.
