How many birds are really being killed annually by the wind industry? Easily millions upon millions.
It is my understanding that legal actions against the wind industry from several different parties may take place in the near future. To help with these actions I am going to give my expert opinion in a series of posts pertaining to the wind industry’s non-scientific and fraudulent mortality data. These posts may include my personal notes.
The highest annual estimated bird mortality from wind turbines in the US is claimed to be no more than 573,000. However, I will to point out that this number being used by the bird conservation groups, the media and Government agencies, was created from a culmination of fake industry studies using a variety of highly deceptive research methodology tricks.
Then using all this false data from the industry’s fake studies, a new culmination mortality estimate was derived using their false data and further reducing industry mortality figures. This was done by primarily accounting for just increases in the tower heights of turbines as if all wind turbines still had 20-foot-long blades.
Spinning turbine blades smash carcasses and send them flying great distances with directional forces. Turbines during high winds and located on steep ridge lines, can send carcasses flying several hundred meters. The industry’s fraudulent research pretends this does not happen.
This is not science. It is trickery, rigging and possibly stupidity to some. But the pattern of terrible wind industry research has taken place for so long and is so pervasive, that any excuses of researcher stupidity appear virtually impossible.
One of the major problems with this bogus estimate is that incredible increases in turbine rotor sweep and proportional massive search area adjustments, that should have been made, were not. These increases should have accounted for turbines blades up to and over 300 feet in diameter. This was all left out of this fake study creating this fake estimate.
Currently the AWEA is claiming they are only killing about 2.9 birds per MW and I expect this fake number will decline along with the increased rigging of wind industry studies taking place. From my research into this industry’s bogus mortality studies, the real number is many millions each year and depending on turbine locations, 10–50 times higher than current estimates.

If the real number of bird and bat kills were extrapolated into future progeny being eliminated, it would be staggering. Who is monitoring these sites and collecting the data on a daily basis? Weekly? Monthly? Who compiles these reports? Are independent researchers allowed at the wind sites?

Remember few wind turbines are studied after construction and 1 or 2 years at best.... Here is a study of 76 creatures a year per turbine per year!!! They are grabbing the money and leaving the death for future generations http://www.ceoe.udel.edu/lewesturbine/documents/acua_quarterlyrepor...
"This adjustment resulted in an estimate of 302 bird carcasses over the two year study period, or approximately 30 birds/turbine/year. For the same study period, this adjustment resulted in an estimate of 461 bats, or approximately 46 bats/turbine/year."

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/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
