I’m not defending this but a few ducks get oiled at a tailing pond in Ft Mac and millions in fines are meted out.
Big wind does this every day and…..nothing?
Where are the hypocrites?
If wind power wasn’t responsible for screwing up the grids and making the cost of electricity exorbitant, one might tend to overlook the bird and Bat slaughter but given the high cost of incorporating the unreliables, it makes the slaughter even more pointless.
If we keep going on this path the biggest carcass will be Liberty.
Rachel Carson used birds in a big lie. I guess birds have now outlived their usefulness to the sacred narrative.
Small Dead Animals
In East Texas we’d call this a buffet. However, since alligators have been for years a protected species, we humans are their buffet. Those who make the rules don’t live here.
“Lord love a duck”.
I would have ringed all my ponds with wind genrators years ago; if I was in charge of Suncor, or whomever they went after for the ducks. Apparently no one else thinks like me. If there were dead ducks in your pond, then you just say “windmill did it, they were dead before they fell in”.
No worry; no ducks!
Too bad American Democrats don’t fly near wind “farms”.
Especially here in Mexifornia.
Coming soon to more locations in rural Sask.
The most recently announced tentative plan is for 60+ choppers to be placed on Native owned land situated south of Wynyard Sask.
The natives that own the land live North of Saskatoon, far enough away where the most negative and most apparent affects of wind power are not their problem.
You do realize, you endangered birds, that it’s only for your own good that we’re having to set up these “wind” machines.
We have to save the Earth, you know.
Interesting study.
I for one am shocked that people who lied about the need for these turbines in the first place would lie about their impact on wildlife too.
What surprises me is that the wind corridors that were picked to erect these turbines should turn out to be the same corridors that migrating birds choose for their migrations.
What a coincidence. It’s just like the same coincidence as the selection for the siting of hydro dams being on the same waterways as spawning fish.
It makes me wonder why fish and wildlife bother hunting poachers and arresting people for taking more than their ration of fish or ducks.
(excluding Indians who can kill as many as they like any way they want to)
All I EVER needed to know about the FABULOUS wind FARMS that generate “FREE, ABUNDANT, CLEAN, POWER” … I learned from Ted Kennedy. Ted KILLED a windfarm planned off the coast of his iconic Kennedy Compound and property in Mass. Seems Teddy valued his unspoiled VIEW of the water MORE than he cared about “FREE, ABUNDANT, CLEAN, POWER”. I agree with Teddy (may Mary Jo Kopechne rest his soul) … I CHOOSE the ENVIRONMENT over FAKE “green” virtue signaling.
My comment on that site:
In Ontario’s last election, 67.24 percent of voters cast ballots for the Liberals, NDP, and Greens: the architects and cheerleaders for the Green Energy Act. And in the three previous elections, the percentage was only slightly smaller. So, tell me something, all you folks who voted consistently for all things green – like solar panels and wind turbines……any regrets?
I was at Rondeau Provincial Park on the north shore of Lake Erie last summer standing on a platform overlooking a large marsh that was specifically built for bird watching. There was a sign there stating that it is one of the most important routes in North America for migratory birds and that more than 300 different species can be seen there. When you look at the horizon all you see is wall to wall bird blenders.
Yes they did do that and one reason they did, though no excuse, is that the PC party deliberately avoided any mention of industrial wind plants, energy pricing or the GEA. They calculated that rural voters already knew of the fiasco first hand and would support them, and that urban voters still looked on the plants as benign “windmills”, a fuzzy Green development.The Party candidates said one thing in the country and quite the other in GTA.
Had they presented the stark economic realities, future energy prices, opportunity cost, the utter dead end wind power represent, things could have turned out differently.
Has the PC crew learned anything since? Doubtful as P Brown is squarely behind man-made climate change, carbon taxes and a belief Ont must do “do something”. He still is afraid to present the economic realities though a wealth of data support him, lest he be called a “denier”.
When the end goal is to pauperize us all so that we clamour for the joys of communism, a few dead birds are a small price to pay.
Gary D: I don’t want the frigging wind turbines in my country Canada. There is nothing wrong with the Earth as I see it…this type of highly subsidized electricity is stupid as you can see in ONTARIO. Oil and by products might be subsidized slightly but are still way cheaper and they say WARMING is only 0.00002 C, I’ll take it more crops to grow! Climate Change is nothing more than a MONEY grab for the elites whom are invested in it!! Save Our Bird Population!! Down with Wind Turbines!!!
A little known fact is that North Dakota, South Dakota, and Saskatchewan have wind farms right in the middle of the Whooping Crane migration routes.
Airports use propane cannons to minimize encounters between birds and propellers. I have a solution to minimize avian slaughter at the green altar of wind power, but it involves fossil fuels. Prepare for cognitive dissonance.

Hi, I hate to burst all your bubbles but your statistics are a pipe dream. You can get some scientific data at this site:
http://savetheeaglesinternational.org/releases/spanish-wind-farms-kill-6-to-18-million-birds-bats-a-year.html
They quote a 2012 Spanish wind farm study.
Go ahead, I dare you to read the truth.
