Vindenergin går inte ihop sig och dödar massor av fåglar, dessutom drar
de mer energi att tillverka än vad de producerar och skapar skräpparker
i naturen när de övergivna står och rostar bort.

14,000 Abandoned Wind Turbines Litter the United States
The towering symbols of a fading religion, over 14,000 wind turbines,
abandoned, rusting, slowly decaying. When it is time to clean up after a
failed idea, no green environmentalists are to be found. Wind was free,
natural, harnessing Earth’s bounty for the benefit of all mankind,
sounded like a good idea. Wind turbines, like solar panels, break down.
They produce less energy before they break down than the energy it
took to make them. The wind does not blow all the time, or even most of
the time. When it is not blowing, they require full-time backup from
conventional power plants.
Without government subsidy, they are unaffordable. With governments
facing financial troubles, the subsidies are unaffordable. It was a nice
dream, a very expensive dream, but it didn’t work.
California had the “big three” of wind farm locations — Altamont Pass,
Tehachapi, and San Gorgonio, considered the world’s best wind sites.
California’s wind farms, almost 80% of the world’s wind generation
capacity ceased to generate even more quickly than Kamaoa Wind Farm in
Hawaii. There are five other abandoned wind farms in Hawaii. When they
are abandoned, getting the turbines removed is a major problem. They are
highly unsightly, and they are huge, and that’s a lot of material to get
rid of.
Unfortunately the same areas that are good for siting wind farms are a
natural pass for migrating birds. Altamont’s turbines have been shut
down four months out of every year for migrating birds after
environmentalists filed suit. According to the Golden Gate Audubon
Society 75-110 Golden Eagles, 380 Burrowing Owls, 300 Red-Tailed Hawks
and 333 American Kestrels are killed by the turbines every year. An
Alameda County Community Development Agency study points to 10,000
annual bird deaths from Altamont wind turbines. The Audubon Society
makes up numbers like the EPA, but there’s a reason why they call them
bird Cuisinarts.
Palm Springs has enacted an ordinance requiring their removal from San
Gorgonio Pass, but unless something else changes abandoned turbines will
remain a rotting eyesores, or the taxpayers who have already paid
through the nose for overpriced energy and crony-capitalist tax scams
will have to foot the bill for their removal.
President Obama’s offshore wind farms will be far more expensive than
those sited in California’s ideal wind locations. Salt water is far more
damaging than sun and rain, and offshore turbines don’t last as long.
But nice tax scams for his crony-capitalist backers will work well as
long as he can blame it all on saving the planet.
