Violent Environmental Problems With Wind Turbine Operation


Renewable energy wind turbines as electricity sources possess extreme environmental problems not found in its renewable energy rival–solar photovoltaic.  These problems are due to rotation during operation of 130-foot or more long, thirteen-ton turbine blades with tip speeds of 200 miles per hour.
An unavoidable problem of wind turbines is killing flying creatures.  The Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) has produced a video “Eagle lawsuit ruffles wind industry feathers.” The video records an eagle being killed by a wind turbine.  It appears the eagle went back for a second look at the turbine and a blade struck the fatal blow.  Possibly the eagle thought the turbine was a bigger bird.[the Heartland Institute]
