After 20-25 years, landfills catch the vast majority of turbine blades.
Wind turbines are a critical piece of a cleaner future, but they're turning out to be anything but good for some critical wildlife.
Scientists say the spinning blades are killing an alarming number of bats that are needed to help farmers kill off crop-eating insects.
The specific species of bats – hoary bats – are helpful because they love to eat nocturnal insects, according to Dr. Winifred Frick, chief scientist at Bat Conservation International.
"Actually provide real economic value to America’s farmers," Frick said. "It's been estimated that bats provide in the billions of services to America’s farmers in terms of eating all sorts of different crop pests."

Hundreds of thousands of protected birds, including some endangered species, die each year when they collide with wind turbines and associated power lines. The number of turbines is set to grow significantly as wind energy projects continue to expand across the landscape, likely causing a major increase in this already serious problem.

You won’t read about this in The New York Times or The New Yorker, but 2022 was a record year for the number of solar energy projects that were rejected by rural communities in the United States.
As I show in the Renewable Rejection Database, nearly 80 rural governments either banned or restricted solar energy projects last year. Among them: Rotterdam, New York. On December 14, according to The Daily Gazette, the Rotterdam Town Board voted 5-0 to adopt a year-long moratorium on large solar projects. The vote followed “weeks of input from residents, who urged lawmakers to adopt the measure over concerns about the long-term impact solar arrays pose for the town. Many residents expressed worries that allowing the structures without further regulations does not align with the town’s updated comprehensive plan.”
The moratorium in Rotterdam is part of the ongoing backlash in rural America against the encroachment of large wind and solar projects. These rejections are an inconvenient truth for the myriad NGOs, climate activists, academics, and corporations who are hoping that the $127 billion appropriated for renewables under the Inflation Reduction Act will catalyze a massive buildout of new solar and wind projects. But the reality is that land-use conflicts have been hindering the growth of those projects -- both in the U.S. and Europe -- for years. And as more projects get proposed, more rural communities are objecting.
In all, more than 40 Ohio townships adopted measures last year that prohibit the construction of large solar or wind projects, or both. Across the U.S., about 106 communities have rejected or restricted solar projects since 2017. The number of wind rejections also jumped last year, with 55 communities enacting ordinances or other measures that prohibit the installation of large wind facilities. Since 2015, about 360 communities across the U.S. have rejected or restricted wind projects. (Note that last year, I published numbers that were slightly higher than that. In my continuing updates to the database, I found some entries that were duplicates and deleted them.)
To be sure, these facts, and these numbers, don’t fit with the narrative being peddled by legacy media outlets. Last year, National Public Radio ran an article claiming that rural Americans were peddling “misinformation” in their efforts to prevent wind and solar projects from being built in their neighborhoods. Last month, an article published in TheNew York Times claimed that opposition to wind projects in Michigan included “anti-wind activists with ties to groups backed by Koch Industries.” But the reporter who wrote the article, David Gelles, didn’t provide any proof of any Koch connections. (Gelles did not reply to two emails asking him for substantiation of his claim.) Last month in The New Yorker, climate activist Bill McKibben claimed that “front groups sponsored by the fossil-fuel industry have begun sponsoring efforts to spread misinformation about wind and solar energy.” But like Gelles, McKibben didn’t provide any proof for his claim.
I have been reporting on rural opposition to the encroachment of renewables for a dozen years. I have been maintaining and updating the Renewable Rejection Database -- on my own time and my own dime -- since 2015. I have interviewed dozens of small-town policymakers and landowners. I’ve had some of them on the Power Hungry Podcast. I’ve written about people like Dave and Rose Enz, residents of Denmark, Wisconsin, who abandoned their home due to noise from wind turbines that were built too close to the house they had owned for decades.
In all of the years I’ve been reporting on these issues, I have seen no evidence of Koch funding or “front groups” sponsored by the hydrocarbon sector. What I have seen is an increasing effort by the wind and solar lobbies and their claqueurs to discredit people who stand in the way of these projects. Perhaps that’s not surprising. Tens of billions of dollars in federal tax credits are at stake. Companies like Apex Clean Energy can’t feed at the federal trough if they don’t build projects.

“Damn the whales, full speed ahead” seems to be the offshore wind policy of Biden’s NOAA. They now propose to approve yet another site survey, just 10 miles off Atlantic City. These surveys are the top suspect for the recent wave of dead whales, centered on New Jersey.
See the proposal at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/03/30/2023-06594/takes-of-marine-mammals-incidental-to-specified-activities-taking-marine-mammals-incidental-to
The site is a big one because the offshore wind project is huge. Phase 1 is a whopping 1,500 MW, which means over 100 monster turbine towers. The survey area is around 1,500,000 acres or an incredible 2,300 square miles.
Ironically the project is called Atlantic Shores, which is where all the dead whales are washing up. In fact this is basically a renewal of a prior permit. NOAA acts as though nothing has changed, ignoring the horrible New Jersey whale deaths.

Management currently calls the wind farm “unfinanceable” because “unexpectedly high and persistent inflation, supply shortage and increases in supply costs, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and rapid increases in interest rates had negatively affected the economics of the Project to the point where the PPAs would no longer facilitate the financing of the Project due to the Project’s negative net present value.”

Right whales have been harmed by modern threats: vessel strikes, entanglements with fishing gear, and climate change. Offshore wind development presents another possible threat
A committee of scientists and experts convened this week to begin a monthslong process of independently evaluating potential impacts of offshore wind development on the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale and its primary food source. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the lead regulator on offshore wind, called for an independent review by a committee under the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine.

Regardless. Here's how studies like this often go:
The groups involved all belong to the same political mindset. They believe that we are destroying the (greening up) planet from climate change and the only thing that can save it are things like wind turbines(which are actually devises REALLY wrecking the planet) . A vital element to this is the massive crony capitalism. With the government subsidies and tax benefits there is much money to be made from these projects. Scientists doing studies like this also get funded with grants and the way to get the most scientific funding is to start the research with an assumption of a climate crisis that favors actions like using widespread wind turbines to address it.
If you want to maximize your chances of getting scientific funding, have your study include anything related to the climate crisis and especially to solving it.
Then, find reasons to support the preconceived conclusion to make the most money and accomplish the political agenda. Use creative, elusive verbiage when it comes to actually concluding that the activities associated with wind turbines have an impact on whales. Then use that to justify a conclusion that the study was unable to prove that wind turbine activity harms whales. And everybody uses the study as evidence that wind turbines and the surveys/installation process doesn't harm whales...........even though they clearly do.
The group calling for this study is a government agency. One would assume that scientists doing the study would practice the objective scientific method. Yeah, right maybe on Fantasy Island. OK, there are actually some that are objective fair.
However, here on planet earth, 70%+ of scientists are from the D party and have political opinions and career considerations with other elements that often cloud their applying of the scientific method in their work.

They've hijacked real climate science and replaced it with pseudo science that blames natural variation in the weather on a climate crisis.
Most life on this planet still prefers temperatures a bit warmer than this.
They've taken the temperature of 100 years ago, which was sub optimal for most life, especially for plants and growing crops and declared that as the PERFECT global temperature even though it came at the end of the Little Ice Age.
Now that we've warmed back up to the temperature of the Medieval Warm Period, 1,000 years ago(similar to the Roman Warm Period-2,000 years ago and Minoan Warm Period ~3,500 years ago but not as warm as the Holocene climate optimum 9,000 to 5,000 years ago) they call it the hottest in 125,000 years and declare a fake climate crisis.

On 15 March 2000, however, independent marine mammal researchers Ken Balcomb and Diane Claridge woke up to find a beached beaked whale outside their seaside home on Abaco Island in the Bahamas (Science, 26 January 2001, p. 576). They soon counted 17 other stranded marine mammals in nearby waters, some with apparently bleeding ears. They managed to collect tissue samples--including whole heads--from six of the animals that had died. Government scientists launched an investigation after learning that the strandings had occurred within 24 hours of a nearby Navy training mission.
The Navy says that, in the future, it will try to avoid using sonar in similar situations during training runs, and it hopes to fund more research.

"The urgency to transition to clean, renewable energy is an irreversible reality," read a statement signed Wednesday by nearly 40 environmental, labor and community groups from New Jersey who support offshore wind, including the state's chapter of the Sierra Club. "In a world of warming temperatures and extreme weather in likely the hottest year on record, maintaining the status quo of fossil fuel generation is not an option as the cost of climate inaction is undeniably high."

That BS narrative is how they sell this fake green energy snake oil.
The fact is that CO2 is a beneficial gas which is irrefutably greening up the planet(by 26%). We are experiencing an indisputable climate OPTIMUM for most life and crops based on authentic SCIENTIFIC standards.
The climate crisis is a politically manufactured realm/term that only exists from cherry picking certain kinds of extreme weather(and completely hiding all the benefits) and doing computer simulations with broken climate models that project extremely low odds, catastrophic future scenarios, dishonestly sold as the most likely scenario if we don't act immediately.

Yes, the planet is getting warmer from the increase from the indisputable physics of greenhouse gas warming caused by increasing CO2.
