World's Largest Offshore Wind Farm Is Finally Operational

[sparky127]

Now you're catching on.

We’ll just take your word for it…. Lmao.

about 1 billion birds die hitting windows, 3.2 billion by cats  300k by wind mills.

told you,  you make me laugh.

So you're ok with making things worse for the birds?

You're a very, very sick man. I mean really, what did the birds ever do to you?

Well in my case toejam on a freshly starched shirt and if I get my truck detailed it automatically becomes a target zone. If the birds are too stupid to avoid a spinning blade that's just natural selection in process.  Now let's repeal helmet and seatbelt laws so natural selection might have a chance to reverse the 'idiocracy' world we live in now.

The bird scare is overblown.  Ever see the size of the blades and how slow they rotate? A bird would have the be suicidal.

Blade velocity at the tips can hit or exceed 100mph and it's estimated that nearly 600 million birds die to wind turbines each year in the U.S.

Overblown? I think not.

Nearly 600 million annually. Read it and weep for the lost birds. https://www.livescience.com/31995-how-do-wind-turbines-kill-birds.html

*ShruG* Think not then. 0.016% of the bird population. If your concern is really ... for the birds ... then protest windows.

Of course, birds die from other causes, too: Structures like glass-walled office buildings and utility towers, vehicular collisions and carnivorous animals (including domestic cats) kill far more birds each year than wind turbines do.

You NEED to be shown when your sources are biased.  Because, you obviously cannot be objective on your own.

So, you feel the need to do my thinking for me? How presumptuous of you.

That’s nice…  I don’t laugh at you.  More like pity, I can’t imagine how hard things are for someone in your condition.

What condition is that? Be direct. Don't p-foot around. Be brave. 

[knorB]

You first.

[Arlo]

You first.

Me first what? I didn't project a condition. But I did expect your deflection.

I care about all life, even the microscopic organisms growing on you and everyone else.

In case you hadn't noticed, this thread is about Wind Farms and not windows. Or cars.

Please stay on topic.
