Wind Turbines Kill More Birds Than BP Oil Spill

I like this comment from a reader of this article:

Jim Wiegand
The comparison isn't even close. Wind turbines in America probably kill more birds
each month than the BP oil spill in the Gulf.

But what is the public to believe when research is rigged, our government is
corrupt and very little we are being told about renewable energy is the truth?
We are not being told about important turbine impacts like the extinction will be
coming to many species from these turbines spinning in remote ecosystems.
We are also not being told that these inefficient turbines will never produce enough
energy for any change climate. But they sure can destroy things.

For those thinking they will replace coal plants with turbines it will take
about 2 million (1 MW) of these inefficient monsters and where will you put
them? We now have about 63,000.

The truth is that wind energy is a global environmental disaster and no one should ever
rely on a quote from organizations or bogus research produced by companies
raking in wind energy funding. Yet this is what's happening. The quote used in
this article isn't even close to being the truth because the study used and
did not compensate for the industry's pitifully rigged research for this mortality number.
The real number of birds killed by turbines in America is easily in the millions each year.

Part of this disaster has been our rapidly disappearing golden eagle population. Since 1997 approximately 31,000 eagle carcasses have been shipped to the Denver Eagle Repository of which thousands have come from around wind farms. The cause of death and exact locations where these 31,000 eagles were found has never been disclosed by the Interior Department, even though at one time the USFWS did admit that wind farms were a primary source of eagle carcasses sent to the Denver Eagle Repository.

Our Interior Department along with the FWS have been protecting this industry
by endorsing the wind industry's rigged research and providing this with industry voluntary regulations. As a result most of the wind industry's slaughter to protected species is being hidden behind their contrived research.

The last credible or honest turbine mortality study was conducted 30 years ago
in 1985 when it was estimated that 6800 birds were being killed annually by
about 200 MW of installed wind turbines. I would provide a link but this study
was stripped off the internet years ago. .............."McCrary, M.D.,
R.L. McKernan, and R.W. Schreiber. 1986. San Gorgonio wind resource area:
impacts of commercial wind turbine generators on birds, 1985 data report.
Prepared for Southern California Edison Company. 33 pp".

Keeping in mind those McCrary fatality rates and using them for all of the 63,000 MW of installed wind energy today in the US, produces a turbine mortality estimate of 2,167,200 birds a year. A number nearly 12 ten times more than the bogus 2.9 per MW quoted by the AWEA.

But this 34.4 per MW estimate for America's turbines is low because bird use patterns at the Desert region of the San Gorgonio pass wind turbines is lower than many other wind turbine locations. Many other areas have far greater kills rate per MW.

Since 1985 the wind industry has been routinely conducting rigged studies around their turbines. They are using carcass mortality calculations with search areas up to 20 times too small along with many other tricks to conceal turbine mortality slaughter.

No research generated by this disgraceful industry should ever be believed, even if you hear endorsements from wind money recipients like National Audubon. They sold out the endangered California Condor years ago making a deal with Enron.
