That is hilarious WC. And so timely...

Notice how the liberal hordes have absolutely no heart. This is the sad truth about liberals. They only act as if they have feelings for animals when it serves their political goals. The reality is that thousands of magnificent (and often endangered) birds are being killed each and every hour by "green" energy wind turbines. You could not design a better method of killing soaring birds (other than placing them on top of a ridge...) that green energy wind turbines.

The reality is that liberals do not care about birds being killed and suffering in horrible agony until they die when struck by their "green energy" producing turbine blades. They care about forcing non liberals to conform to their utopian fantasy of how the world should be. At any cost. Remember the tale of the "spotted owl?"

Above we see a classic liberal happy to devalue all bird life and their right to live free of a green energy caused massacre (by wind turbines). Instead of taking any responsibility, the liberal drone instead tries to argue that house-cats are a more important threats to consider for these birds. So therefore the wind turbine bird massacre is "not his green energy causes fault" because house cats also kill birds? Amazing...

Clearly the bald eagle in the photo is not very concerned about that house cat. More like happy to have such an easy meal.

I wonder how long that bird in the video suffered in that parking lot before it finally died. A day? Two days? A week? Maybe a house cat came along and helped put it out of its misery faster than it would have died on its own?

Its truly a challenge to follow a liberals logic.

How about hoarding the anti-liberal rants to use in front of hordes of conservatives and let this board be about soaring :-)

let this board be about soaring :-)

Gracias, Juan. Too much politics.
Jim

I'm not conservative or religious. I'm just a guy who cares about birds. This is not politics, this is humanity.

Now, my liberal hordes :-), let's talk about that bird in the video above that was struck by the liberal sponsored wind turbine blade and suffered a horrible death in the parking lot after falling 100's of feet to earth...

Does watching this poor animals death make you happy? Hmmm? How does it make you feel? Is the value of a few kilowatts of "green energy" more important that the horrible death experienced by so many innocent birds? Do you suggest that we all just ignore these unnatural deaths as you do? How many dead birds is justified? How many deaths are too many?

To me, each wind turbine, represents hundreds and perhaps thousands of similar bird deaths each year. Every erected wind Turbine is actually a death sentence for hundreds and perhaps thousands of innocent local birds each year...

Wind Turbines are, in reality, liberal sponsored bird killers!

What should be done to account for this horrible and epidemic MAN MADE INJUSTICE? Who is responsible? (Liberals) Who is accountable? (Liberals) Is it a crime? (Yes)

What should their punishment be? An eye for an eye perhaps? Can we toss liberals into the turbine blades at a 1:1 ratio for every bird death? :-). One can dream...

Seriously, should wind turbines that kill a certain number of birds in a period of time be dismantled? Should the people who approved a wind turbine based on bird risk be held accountable? Stripped of their "license?" Should the owner of the turbine be fined? What is the solution to this problem? Or are you going to continue to claim that the wind turbine bird massacre which is happening each and every hour across this country is NOT A PROBLEM?

[quote=gotovkotzepkoi;854465]Hmmm....accused of being a "liberal drone"!! Now that hurts - NOT. Anyway, the figures about bird deaths from wind turbines appear to be highly inflated. Here is one of many sources:


While I do not doubt the veracity of the stats in this article, they are a red herring to the discussion. For example, there are 3-5 bird deaths per year on my back deck as birds try to fly from one side of our extened dining nook to the other (opposing three panel glass doors. Birds hit by my routine driving? 0-2 per year. Number of raptor deaths in my experiences? ZERO. Where is the concern for the fewer numbers of Birds of Prey, and the stats involving just them in this discussion, not the whole bird population?.

The main point of the bird deaths from the turbines IS about the number of Raptor deaths caused. And I seriously doubt those caused by cats and building/car collision are as significant (in the same areas) as wind turbines. Obviously wind turbines are not all over the place yet for comparison during the gathering of the facts in this article. The article doesn't break down Raptor VS "plain old bird" stats either. But in areas where ridge soaring occurs, Raptors do ride these same currents. They are still killed routinely by the newer wind turbines. And one could easily argue this is done in complete non-compliance with the law with no redress available...

Welcome back Sean, missed you while you were at the Seniors

As mentioned here in an earlier post, glider pilots who would be adversely affected by a ridge-top wind turbine complex on Jacks Mt near Mifflin are cooperating with a group named SOAR (Save Our Allegheny Ridges)in an attempt to thwart this project.



A quick way glider pilots can help is to vote "no" on the poll running in the local newspaper, the Lewistown Sentinel. Paste this link into your browser:

Thanks for taking the few seconds required. (Last time I checked it was 76% against, 22% for and the rest unsure.)



Karl Striedieck

I agree - they are ugly & really really loud - plus when a fellow soaring pilot of Karl's reputation asks for help keeping his ridge flyable - do you need much of an argument

"just vote "NO"
