Since the diet of Bald Eagles is primarily fish, when wind turbine developers begin constructing wind farms on our coasts or near lakes or rivers, the mortality rate for Bald Eagles will skyrocket. We cannot let this happen. During construction of a wind turbine, roads often have to be widened or built from scratch; mountain … Continue reading Bird Smart wind energy development

DOWN WIND – Wind Turbine documentary (part one)
Down Wind is the explosive documentary that examines Ontario's controversial rush into wind farm development. Produced by Surge Media, Down Wind exposes how this Canadian provinces' green energy dream turned into a nightmare for rural residents forced to live among the towering 50 storey turbines. We hear searing, personal stories of people experiencing mysterious health … Continue reading DOWN WIND – Wind Turbine documentary (part one)
McBain Michigan, Wind Turbine Fire
Dec 20, 2016 A fire at a wind turbine had crews shutting down roads in Missaukee County due to a fire at a wind turbine on Tuesday. It happened at a turbine near Lachance Roads and Lucas Road. Details are limited at this time, but crews on scene told MI News 26 that they don't … Continue reading McBain Michigan, Wind Turbine Fire
Wind turbines are neither clean nor green and they provide zero global energy
Matt Ridley | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT As machines, wind turbines are pretty good already; the problem is the wind resource itself, and we cannot change that. It’s a fluctuating stream of low–density energy. Mankind stopped using it for mission-critical transport and mechanical power long ago, for sound reasons. It’s just not … Continue reading Wind turbines are neither clean nor green and they provide zero global energy
Researchers warn of ice-throw danger from wind turbines at Balsams
November 30, 2016 • New Hampshire Researchers warn of ice-throw danger from wind turbines at Balsams Researchers who worked near the 400-foot high wind turbines on peaks above the proposed Balsams ski area say there is reason to be worried about people getting too close: They saw chunks of ice being thrown and found ice … Continue reading Researchers warn of ice-throw danger from wind turbines at Balsams
Ohio wind turbine damaged in storm
April 2018 Wind and or lightning Tuesday night into Wednesday damaged a wind turbine on the Hog Creek Wind Farm near Dola. A blade on a turbine was partially broke sometime during the storm. Lightning accompanied a storm that rolled through the area Tuesday night and was followed by wind gusts close to 50 miles … Continue reading Ohio wind turbine damaged in storm
LIGO study of the transmission of seismic vibrations from large wind turbines
Nature and Society, October-November 2011, pp. 7-9 LIGO - Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory VIRGO - European Gravitational Observatory in Pisa (LIGO), University of Oregon, near the Stateline Wind Project, and the (VIRGO) in Pisa, near a small wind farm, have done detailed measurements of the generation and transmission of seismic vibrations from large wind … Continue reading LIGO study of the transmission of seismic vibrations from large wind turbines
Wind Turbine stress on birds could increases chances of West Nile virus.
More stress for birds means higher chances of West Nile virus September 6, 2016| Dana Kobilinsky | THE WILDLIFE SOCIETY Researchers examined the extent to which mosquitoes with West Nile virus bit zebra finches with elevated levels of stress. Birds that have more of the stress hormone corticosterone are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes … Continue reading Wind Turbine stress on birds could increases chances of West Nile virus.
Habitat Changes, In Turn,Influence The Health Of Wildlife Populations
This project not ONLY will be to alter the environment where they construct the turbines, there is no adequate road to the site and no existing electricity infrastructure. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center document: "Most of these facilities tie into existing electricity transmission infrastructure and require service roads and … Continue reading Habitat Changes, In Turn,Influence The Health Of Wildlife Populations
