The Environmental Groups - Parasitic Pretenders

From what I have seen from conservation groups like the Sierra club, as soon as these other industries (natural gas, oil, coal, hydro, and nuclear) started giving the Sierra Club “Mitigation Funding” and backing they would change their tune completely. Today I believe this is their game plan, make a lot of noise and squeeze as much financially as you can from causes. Think about it, Audubon has been involved with Altamont for decades and the slaughter of raptors has never stopped.

I am not a fan of most conservation groups and people have to face the fact that Environmental groups like the Sierra Club and Audubon no longer have much to do with their founders. The have charitable status but they are really a political enterprise marketing the environment to the public. They lobby, they parade around Washington, they have many fund raisers, sell their wildlife trinkets, say the right things in the media, file aggressive looking lawsuits, but in reality I see them as sellout parasites leading their well meaning members down the garden path to nowhere.

Groups like the Sierra Club that are turning their backs on the wind industry’s bird and bat genocide, remind me of the many onlookers back on March 13, 1964 in New York that watched a young woman getting murdered. They did nothing, but unlike those worthless onlookers in New York, these groups also getting paid to look away. Even if they file lawsuits, Conservations groups do receive money in settlements. If projects go through conservation groups are getting paid for the dead eagles that pay the real price. It is part of mitigation process, a process that rewards them for this destruction. .

Michael Brune is the Sierra Club Executive Director. He is 41 and possesses dual B.S. degrees in Economics and Finance. These are banking credentials.

What background does Michael Brune have outside of finance? What background does Michael Brune have which enables him to make a single sound environmental decision? How could Michael Brune ever understand the real impacts caused by wind turbines or know about the proper siting of any wind project? How could Michael Brune ever be able to smoke out a fraudulent wind industry study? From what I have seen he can’t. So this brings up an even bigger problem, pretenders with power.

Members of these groups need to ask their leaders why they are not demanding the immediate development of bird safe turbines because the path of the today’s wind industry is a sure path to extinction of many species. Members of these groups should realize that the way to end the wind industry’s destruction is stop approving wind farms with propeller style turbines. Another way is to stop the politicians from giving away billions in tax credits (PTC) and to eliminate wind project mitigation money (major conflict of interest) from going conservation groups. These actions is will force the industry to change and conservation groups to stop supporting these turbines.

I have pointed all this out because across the world we have environmental destruction (wind industry related) taking place at a pace never before seen on this planet. No other energy source kills millions of protected species each year like the wind industry does. No other energy source has a several thousand mile foot print from each location like the wind industry does. No other energy source kills millions of protected species each year and has no accountability. It is an outrage that will continue as long as the pretenders are in power.
