Wind Farm Cheaper to Build than to Operate a Coal Plant

[TrippyHippy]

Also kills lots of birds .....

"The paper provides two examples: one relates to a calculation of avian fatalities across wind electricity, fossil-fueled, and nuclear power systems in the entire United States. It estimates that wind farms are responsible for roughly 0.27 avian fatalities per gigawatt-hour (GWh) of electricity while nuclear power plants involve 0.6 fatalities per GWh and fossilfueled power stations are responsible for about 9.4 fatalities per GWh. This means that wind farm-related avian fatalities equated to approximately 46,000 birds in the United States in 2009, but nuclear power plants killed about 460,000 and fossil-fueled power plants 24 million."

And feral cats kill 110,000,000 birds ..... What's your point ?

Care to explain how nuclear plants kill birds?

Your inability to process information is embarrassing

That is all well and good if you live in an area with sufficient sustained winds to support the investment.

Doesn't seem like it when I drive down to San Diego .... should be beautiful scenery .

Nope ! A disgusting mess of thousands of acres of ugly windmills .

personally I think they are beautiful.....I always feel a sense of "this is what God intended" when I see them......

The birds are invariably either injured and fly on to die later somewhere else, or scavengers feast on them.

scavengers need to eat......

If you leave things up to Donald Trump the United States will secede from California!

- we'll all be carrying our women around like bowling balls- but only have to use two-fingers! Now that's progress!

- we'll re-enact the Civil War just to see if Slavery wasn't such a bad idea after-all!

- we'll have our very own versions of Auschwitz concentration camps in Alabama, Florida, and Texas!

- The Supreme Court will look like something you saw on Planet of the Apes!

- Trump Towers Everywhere MAN- Trump Towers EVERYWHERE!

- Kid Rock will be Chief Security advisor- Ted Nugent will head the Department of Interior- Kanye will head the Drug Enforcement Agency- and Rush Limbaugh will head up the FCC- but Sean Hannity will not get a promotion, but he will remain the official West-Wing Shoe Shine/Spit-Shine Boy!

Too many horrors ahead- and too many to list! We better impeach him!

it is amazing to see just how deranged lib'ruls can be......

Wind farms .... Horrible eye sores !

Also kills lots of birds .....

Teddy Kennedy, a staunch environmentalist, fought the Cape Wind Project. It's clear, although he claims to support such things, he didn't want HIS family to have to look at them.
