Lake Erie Turbines and a new fake bald eagle survey

Knowing your enemy is important and this enemy is killing our world.

For the wind industry fake research has enormous offsetting mitigation consequences. It saves the wind industry billions every year. It also keeps conservation groups happy because they get paid a bundle to keep their mouths shut.

So is this recent bald eagle survey from Ohio true? After all it was compiled by "Citizen Scientists". Here is my expert honest opinion..... What a pile of S***. It's just a…

When a Bald Eagle gets hit by a wind turbine it almost always remains a secret

A Bald eagle gets hit by a turbine. But there happens to be witnesses that haven't signed wind industry non disclosure agreements. 

This eagle is just one the thousands being killed annually by the green bastards. But this just happened to be one that couldn't be hidden.  As it is, the few accidental sightings like this one, that can't be hidden with corruption, are the only ones we hear about.

The people of Iowa are losing their property rights by intrusion of Corporate Industrial Wind

We live in rural Iowa where Mid American Energy is trying to develop a large area of our crop lands into industrial wind generating facilities.  The citizens of Palo Alto County here in Iowa have an active lawsuit against Mid American Energy and a lawsuit against the County Board of Supervisors.  These lawsuits are based on violations of our Iowa Laws.  The citizens do not want wind energy taking over our land for the Tax Incentives that they eat like candy.

Massachusetts’ new wind bills supported by junk science

Using the NATURE CONSERVANCY's methodology for planning hydropower basins to wind 'catchment' areas

The Nature Conservancy is a massive organization and a global player.

You'll find a description of their organization and their methodology for assessing the impact of hydroelectric generating plants on 'nature'. This affects FERC relicensing of all Maine plants up for renewal; Maine is the second largest hydro generator in New England. 

There is one slide listing all the impacts a hydroplant has; it could serve as a template for measuring the impact of a wind…

The U.S. Department of Energy Loves Enron

1 million Acres of Ocean Area have been gifted to Enron by the Department of Energy.  This Ocean Area is Public Trust that the feds were supposed to have held In Trust for US. 

This is why we need to get rid of the U.S. Department of Energy.  It's spin central creating the illusion of success where there is failure funded by U.S. citizens.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
