Wind Turbines... Detestable. Over payed to produce electricity then paid to not produce electricityMass murdering birds, always.Unsightly monstrositiesAt least while these turbines were down they weren't killing our feathered friends! The Times UK
A record £4.8m was paid to wind farm operators in the space of one day, for switching off turbines when it became too windy.
More than 60 farms — most in Scotland — were compensated after electricity supply outstripped demand on October 8. The bonanza far exceeded the previous reported record of £3.1m, sparking fresh criticism of the Scottish government’s headlong rush towards green energy.
In exceptionally windy conditions, the National Grid cannot cope with the extra energy turbines produce, so firms receive “constraint payments” to shut down.
SpainThis type of energy production cannot be considered "green" unless one is referencing the green implied by the excessive profiteering? Flashback:
Wind Energy Takes a Toll On Bird Population- Now There’s Help?
As mentioned I love birds... and ask again why when the carbon cult pushes the meme of "human forced" global warming reducing bird populations do they never, ever, ever mention their huge bird slaughtering turbines as an issue....
It's a subject that's never broached. Swept under the rug. Same way as Toronto sweeps up all the dead birds that fly into their sky scrapers.
As an actual environmentally friendly person- this cover up bothers me. Quite a lot!
