Considering what fossil fuels have done for our civilization, those who develop and sell them deserve every penny of profit the market will bear. What profit will the market bear for wind energy developers? What fuel is used to turn random, fickle wind energy into a stable, grid-ready product? (natural gas or storage) At what cost?

compare to what?

And I match your years of observation with my years of observations. At least we do agree on one thing, while ever there ‘s a bob to be made out fossil fuels big companies will exploit it unless there is an emissions trading scheme or similar to promote renewables. I find “nay sayers” are quick to condemn but slow to provide alternatives. I will give you the last say as I do not intend to post on this matter again unless a new thread presents itself. All the best.

With decades of observations I can say that I represent the truth. You just do not want to hear about it. You only have bits and pieces of feel good information filtered through the media. It is very foolish to think there will be any reduction in coal generated carbon-dioxide because of wind turbines. The only reduction will come when every last bit of coal has been extracted from the earth. Until then it is full speed ahead for for oil, coal and whatever else can be sold to consumers.

The truth is out there but who is telling it? From my observations, wind farm opponents create illnesses and site negative effects on fauna to stop wind farms going ahead. The contents of these cartoons clearly proves this. It’s not just big companies that make money from wind energy, farmers will make money, jobs will be created and local infrastructure improved not to mention a reduction in coal generated carbon-dioxide. Build them big and build them many I say.

Despite industry propaganda, cats, windows, cars etc. kill almost no rare and endangered species such as Condors, Whooping Cranes, Red Kites,Tasmanian Wedge Tailed Eagles, and Egyptian Vultures. I could go on and on with this death list. The fact is, once these turbines are put into their foraging and nesting habitats they become the primary killers of these species. No bird or bat is safe from these turbines.The public rarely hears about it because of wind farm security & contract gag orders.

[WiegandsWindow]

Being a Wildlife biologist with decades of observations, I know as well as anyone the integrity of the wind industry. I have read their rigged Environmental Impact Reports. I have yet to see an honest one. Remember the primary goal for these corporations is to get their hands on the taxpayers money. If they would lie about the impacts to Condors, Whopping Cranes and Eagles, they would lie about anything including energy projections. In the end the taxpayers and wildlife are the big losers.
