    It’s not just about the birds. The noise pollution from turbines can f up human and animal health. https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...64032122006852

    I’ve stood in a wind farm among dozens of wind turbines, they’re pretty quiet.

    Since birds aren't real none of this matters.

    I am think they are a bored troll.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    Got it-- there is only one crisis in the world, AND even if there were more we can only possibly focus on one problem at a time.

    Climate change isn't just a future problem. It is here now and wreaking devastation in many parts of the world at the same time.

    So your anecdote of hanging out a wind farm for an hour trumps all the scientific research showing the opposite? Ok. Got it.

    xyz provided a link to a summary paper indicating that wind turbine could be harmful to wildlife.

    What I don't get is the quibbling about perfection.

    Virtually all human tech has a detriment of some sort, but every detriment is relative.

    So, if some technology reduces greenhouse gases, drilling, mining, refining and transportation of fuel, that's a good thing.

    Even the linked paper did not clearly demonstrate significant negative impacts on wildlife; most of the papers conclusions showed the possibility ("can" or "could") of detriments to wildlife.

    There are lots. It’s all about offset distances from homes. The closer you are obviously the more th impact. It’s difficult to tie a direct line from turbines to a certain disease but it’s like living next to a hwy or not. Constant noise exposure doesn’t lead to good outcomes.

    With that kind of reasoning, we should get rid of leaf blowers first, then all airplanes, all freeways and highways. Not to mention Def Leppard. And rawk music in general.

    Again, don't let perfection stand in the way of obvious improvement.

    Many more animals will die from climate change than from wind turbines.

    I’m with you on leaf blowers! They should be illegal.

    Would you still be supportive of wind turbine farms if they were in your backyard?

    You're continuing a stupid argument, augmented by the personalization and b00gy mongering.

    It's all about choices. I'd sooner have a wind turbine in my back yard than a refinery, a coal plant, a nuclear reactor or a freeway.

    And fwiw, I'll take a few nuclear reactors over coal plants.

    Now that B has easily blown his ridiculousness out of the water he goes on to the next one and then eventually repeats. It is a tired pattern.

    Anybody listen to the last Blister with Taos? Will be interesting to see how the electric sleds and hybrid snowcat work out. I think they also have a small all electric cat for small park stuff. Baby steps but someone has to lead.

    I found this link in your linked article you dolt
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21914211/

    Xyz is one of those people that thinks if you believe something is true it must be true, also thinks correlation equals causation.
