The folly of wind and solar as energy sources

[Anonymous]

Germany is on the brink of blackouts, because they've succumbed to activist pressure and are shutting down their nuclear facilities at the exact same time Europe is pledging to find alternate sources to all the oil and gas they're currently getting from Russia. They're not going to find it, because global oil/gas shortages are here for a while; production is constrained by a lack of capital and a lack of desire from oil/gas producers to plow money back into an industry that is being hounded out of existence.

Suncor Energy Inc. is getting out of the wind and solar business.  The Calgary-based energy giant — which has been involved in renewable energy production for two decades — announced Monday its plans to divest its wind and solar assets to focus on hydrogen and more sustainable fuels instead.



In 2002, Suncor partnered with Enbridge to build one of the first 'renewable' energy projects in Canada. Since then, Suncor has developed eight wind power projects in three provinces — Saskatchewan, Alberta and Ontario.

Wind energy company kills 150 bald eagles in US, pleads guilty

The criminal case comes amid a push by President Joe Biden for more renewable energy from wind, solar and other sources to help reduce climate changing emissions.

On the irony of self-proclaimed guardians of the earth promoting a regressive—even primitive—energy technology that is killing millions of the planet's creatures.



ANextEra subsidiary's recent revelation of the mass killing of bald and golden eagles exposed the ugly secret that nearly all wind projects share: the wanton destruction of rare and endangered species. On April 5, in a case brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, ESI Energy pleaded guilty to killing more than 150 eagles in eight states. The company was fined $8 million.



For too long, the slaughter of birds by wind turbines has been allowed to continue under the faux emergency declaration of climate alarmists. But with bird mortality in the millions and the lack of promised benefits from wind energy, the only rational option is to end the development of wind farms.



Studies in the last two years have confirmed what scientists and conservationists have been saying all along: There is blood on the blades of these wind farms, causing irreversible damage to thousands of bird species, including those listed in endangered and vulnerable categories.



In 2021, scientists did a comprehensive study of wind-farm effects on mammalian and avian life. They considered 825 peer-reviewed articles that showed that the "construction, operation and maintenance of wind facilities affect mortality and behavior of mammals and birds as well as habitat suitability."



"It is estimated that 888,000 bat and 573,000 bird fatalities on wind energy facilities occur per year in the United States," the study reported.



In Finland, studies have found that the impact of wind farms is lethal not just for large raptors but also for many other species.



In neighboring Norway, researchers found that the current practice in the wind energy sector "has not succeeded in avoiding sites with higher impacts for birds, fueling conflicts surrounding environmental concerns of onshore wind energy development."



A 2022 study analyzing wind development in Bulgaria revealed wind turbines built in northeastern Bulgaria "have a significant negative impact on mortality, barrier effect, and habitat loss. The results reveal other greater risks for birds."



Grouse is another species adversely affected by wind energy. Studies reveal a reduction in grouse populations in areas with wind turbines, and scientists call for "keeping gr

South West Alberta has a lot of wind farms and lots of slaughtered birds.

The solar energy industry has been thrown into a panic and projects are grinding to a halt after the Biden administration launched an investigation that some solar CEOs worry could tank the industry.



The Commerce Department launched the probe in March into whether four countries in Southeast Asia that supply about 80% of US solar panels and parts – Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – are using components from China that should be subject to US tariffs.

Besides being not even close to meeting demand, solar energy means surrendering energy independence and relying on China.

How many people know the truth of the ecological devastation wind turbines cause. And they take up so much land to produce so little electricity.
