Killing endangered species brings out "Big Brother"

Links to articles with truthful information about the wind industry have a pattern of disappearing from the internet. This "big brother" activity has been going on for years. I have just been informed that the original story about Hawaii's turbines killing endangered species has disappeared. The story can still be read here. https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2014/05/03/hawaii-windmills-take-a-...            

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            What is now missing from the original story are the many comments I made that explaining why the turbine slaughter of endangered species is actually far greater than what was reported in this article.                                                                                                                                                                                                           

 

 

Some of my comments made to this article in May 2014.................                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

"For seven years this has been kept from the public and as I have found out from years of researching this industry's bogus documents, there are many other dark secrets pertaining to this industry. Making matters worse I have read over (I am an expert) some of the studies used at these turbine sites. The studies from Hawaii have been rigged to hide mortality. My estimates are that 300-500 endangered species have been killed by the 200 MW of wind power in Hawaii. 

                                                                                                                                                                                        Most of these reported deaths have been recent. Of all the wind energy installed in Hawaii 40 of the 50 reported endangered species carcasses were reported after 2011.

                                                                                                                                                                                    All wind industry mortality studies are severely flawed and far from being scientific. The availability of carcasses to be found in any mortality study depends on the scientific methodology which includes search intervals, search plot size, crippling bias, searcher efficiency, and scavenging rates. Search areas used as around the turbines in Hawaii were 10 times too small and search intervals were to far apart, leaving plenty of time for wind personnel to remove carcasses.

 When taking into account the severely flawed study methodology used for Hawaii's wind  turbine studies, it is very obvious that the real death toll of  endangered species killed by Hawaii's turbines is in the hundreds.

The Kaheawa Pastures wind energy facility (First Wind) on the island of Maui wind turbines were built in the nesting habitat of the world's rarest goose, the Nene. This wind energy facility still has reported 18 Nene killed by the Kaheawa Pastures turbines with ridiculously small search  areas for 300 ft tall turbines. Of these 18 reported Nene fatalities, 11 were recorded during their Aug-April nesting season.

This species lays 3-5 eggs and during their nesting cycle, the death of an adult will likely lead to a complete nest failure or the death of their offspring. So not only are the fatality numbers of Nene being under reported, their offspring are being killed by these turbines.

On top of this entire charade, the fatality data in the mortality studies is being processed with bogus calculations and a Huso program that conveniently assumes that most of the fatalities are to be found in the industry's contrived tiny search areas.  After the first mortality study First Wind tried to get carcasses search areas greatly reduced. Imagine, wind turbines are killing endangered species and instead of expanding search areas, they asked to reduce them.  

What has taken  place in Hawaii is an eye opening example of the character of this industry and a grim warning that the extinction of species is coming from wind turbines. Hawaii has plans to install thousands of MW of wind power. If  this takes place most of the endangered species now being killed by  
wind turbines will not survive.

 

 

Extinction of species is neither renewable nor green.

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/
