I have your GREEN energy right here.

This will be the norm if the landscape is dotted with these killing machines.

    (Not gonna click) but to think that the western landscape, wide open spaces and beautiful vistas, can be potentially dotted with these white spinning monstrosities just makes me gag.

    Libs don’t want oil rigs to ruin their ocean views,well, the same should apply to land west of the Mississippi.

    Hmmm. Highly effective, but a bit too bulky for deer hunting.

    Maybe I could launch the deer via catapult into the windmill blades….

    In any event, I blame stupid hypocritical libs for this. If they weren’t so busy sucking up energy surfing the web for porn that buzzard would still be alive today.

    Unless buzzards are delicious, in which case it would have been my fault.

    It would take 706 wind turbines to replace one offshore well producing 12,000 barrels per day. Figuring the US uses 20 million barrels per day, it would take only 1,176,666 of these turbines to replace oil. This assumes 5400 Megawatt hr per year for each turbine. Sounds like a lot more dead vultures.

    This also assumes we no longer need oil to build things, like, uh, wind turbines.

    I’ve never understood the left’s infatuation with these so-called “renewable” sources. How do we know the environmental effects of massive wind farms won’t be devastating to the local eco-systems? Or massive use of sun reflectors? Or massive use of geo-thermal? Hell, millions die every year from malaria because we won’t let poor equatorial countries use DDT to kill mosquitoes. Why? Because it kills birds. Well, what in hell do the wind farms do?

    Odd that even birds are that dumb. They are born with wings but never seem to get beyond the flying talent level or smarts of Ralph Hinkley.

    There was talk of building wind farms near Martha’s Vineyard, but Teddy Kennedy had that idea shot down.

    Anyone remember the “Mad Cow Disease” panic of a few years ago? The bureaucrats of the European Union enacted laws that required cattle raisers to remove dead carcasses of any animal that died out in the open, no matter the cause of death. In Spain these laws resulted in starving vultures. Vultures aren’t a “beautiful” bird but they do have a purpose in keeping the spread of disease to a minimum and are such an “Intelligently Designed” animal that their faces and demeanor are a natural warning to keep away.

    So your saying I should just indiscriminately shoot whatever animals are around so the vultures don’t starve?

    Well, O.K. but I’m pretty sure my neighbor likes his cat the way he is.

    Nuculur Burr, couldn’t agree more. Even Eskimos aren’t “allowed” to hunt whales in Alaska. They do it, anyway.

    Can’t some of you younger whippersnappers
    come up with a map/plan of the counties/areas across the United States
    where we could best install these contraptions
    to cut those Leftist a§§h*les

    Hey! I got a free energy kit from Uncle Sam!

    Let’s see, if I strap this small solar panel on my back, and this tiny windmill on top of my head (replacing my beanie cap), then I should become personally and totally energy efficient. But where do I put the power conversion unit? Oh, wait! The manual says: position the power unit cylinder in a tight, compressed area just below and in back of your waistline. Tight and compressed? Hmmmmm?

    Let’s  apply, “liberal government solves everything”, blinders on to fix the bird / windmill problem.

    First – hire all your friends to serve on a 5 year study of the problem.

    Second – request 5 more years to study the issue.

    Third – hold a massive party in the South of France.

    Fourth – hire a friends company to develop a million dollar device to chase away the birds that is nothing more then an air can duct tapped to a  Vuvuzela.

    Fifth – when the vuvuzela fails order all windmills to stop until no birds are seen in the sky.

    Sixth – appear before congress to explain why birds are still dying.

    obama needs to declare an immediate moratorium on all wind turbines and have the Sierra Club put $20 billion dollars in another slush fund.

    Does your theory on “intelligently designed animal that (their) faces and demeanor are a natural warning to keep away” also apply to our lovely first lady?

    Ah, the bird was most likely stunned. I’ve seen em take a load of bird shot and fly off. I’ve seen a vulture fly into a helicopter and go through the glass and survive (because there was a damn good pilot). Turkey buzzards are tough critters.

    Animals, unfortunately, die every day in large numbers by man made machines. Sometimes humans die by machine. While I personally try to pause for paws, shit happens.

    I ain’t turning into a hindi reincarnation radical who sits cowering in his hovel because he’s afraid that cockroach crawling up his ass might be his recently deceased mother.

    Well, upon further research (that I stumbled on @ Moonbattery), I found the bird is a red kite and this happened in Scotland. My previous post stands as it is.

    Hey, windmills brought Europe out of the dark ages in the 17th century…it is proven technology! I think it also increased the average life span to the mid thirties. We also used to dry meat in the sun (solar power) caked in salt…mmmm, I bet that stuff was tasty and healthy! Oil has only brought us longer life spans, better health care, air conditioning, heating without cutting down trees, satelite TV and internet porn and IOTW and other stuff we don’t need, like buzzards…..

    I wonder what will power the internets if the wind isn’t blowing? Oh maybe Sheets and the Swimmer screaming from Hell….

    The location of this particular bird whackin’ machine is in Lendas, Crete. The bird is a native to the island, and therefore a Cretin.

    So it’s no ones fault. The bird was just fuggin’ stupid.

    Drive on interstate 10 from Banning to Palm Springs and look at all the windmills just sitting there not turning.

    Government is the biggest waste of our natural resources.
