• Re: Trump admin blocks wind power citing nat

    One of the few things I agree with the Trump administration on.

    The problem with wind farms is that they are very hazardous to avian wildlife. Birds and Bats..

    Both of which are keystone species for pest control, pollenation, and seed spreading.

    It is not the enviromentally friendly energy source we have been lead to believe.

    And generally not nearly as productive as expected. A very few areas
    are quite good for them but many countries that built hundreds or
    thousands of turbines at great cost are just waiting for them to
    wear out so the can get rid of them. Often the actual output ends up
    being less than half the original estimate due to them not working
    in low or too high winds..

    I thought Spain and the Netherlands seemed to be doing well with them.
