'Thrown to the wind' -- are wind farms really killing whales?
Let’s say they do kill whales. I’m guessing these people still want renewable energy right? You can’t eat your cake and have it too. What’s the alternative? “Lend based wind farms kill birds” “nuclear power plants are unsafe and still generate dangerous waste” fuck me, I’ve heard so many excuses over the years, there are downsides to all options, but we need to do something, so stop whining!
It's not even a trade-off though. Yes, wind farms kill birds, but fossil fuel plants kill MORE birds. Yes, wind farms may hurt whales, but oil drilling hurts MORE whales.
Of course stuff is bad if you don't look at the downsides of the alternatives.
Indeed. They're all still better than fossil fuels. That should be the focus.
I find it both very sad, and hilarious that many people who WANT an end to the fossil fuel lobby get suckered in to to the bullshit that that the same investment group throw out against wind farms.
I’m totally for wind farms BTW.
