  1. I’ve walked turbines looking for bird carcasses and have yet to find one. The problem is a dead bird doesn’t typically last long on the landscape before it is consumed/removed by a scavenger.

    Maybe mortality isn’t as high as we bird lovers think? That’s not to say it’s zero.

    1. Seen enough die in the air to know its a problem.

      That’s not my main concern. My main concern is that I live in the countryside and I don’t want these damn things around. If the people in the city want them, then build the damn things over the city. Yes, the wind is a little more turbulent, but the people aren’t: call it a draw and let them love their turbines every morn, noon, and evening.

  2. L – The ancient pagan ritual of animal sacrifice to appease the anger of Gaia, re-emerges in
    todays neo-paganism. The giant blades of the wind turbine perform the sacrifice in place of
    a high priest. If the sacrifice pleases Gaia enough, then the earth is saved. If not sufficient,
    then human sacrifice may be added. For example elderly, white people in Britain, who cannot
    afford the artificially high cost of heating, die from a form of hypothermia. The British gov’t.
    by keeping North Sea gas deposits undeveloped is, in effect, acting as Druid priests.

    This new, high tech bird and human sacrifice keeps the hands of todays Climate Crisis, Druid priests looking clean, of animal and human blood. In reality, the instruments may be remote
    controlled, but the moral culpability remains.

    Western Civilization(Christendom) replaced ancient paganism or so we thought. Now the
    current governments, of most of Europe and the Anglo-sphere, finance pagan temples and
    practices, enforced with new version of blasphemy laws. Rumours abound of a nascent
    Christian revival. This is the season of hope, joy and peace on earth, goodwill toward man.
