Ehhh FALSE. Renewable make up over 20% of total energy with wind providing 20% of that 20% (4%). Solar would only need to occupy a small portion of an entire state to fully produce energy for the country; Wind Turbines are different because they must be placed in specific areas that are are, DUH, windy. They also have much more spacing from each other than solar farms. Nuclear energy is not as pervasive due to stupid Republicans prioritizing deadly coal over very safe energy (that has been under researched due to Trump's dumb war on China that failed)

It's an easy mistake to make, when trying the first time with a pilot program. They have done studies, and by making the turbines taller, the birds are below the blades of the larger machines, when they "go in for the kill". Fewer taller machines, with more space between them, is pretty much the best solution. You can't find a solution, until there's a problem.

@vincentrobinette15075 жыл бұрын
It's becoming much easier, by studying, and finding solutions to the problems. Putting fewer, but taller machines, greatly reduces the number of bird strikes, while reducing maintenance costs, thus, the cost of power. Everything that was said in this video is correct. Having large numbers of small machines, closely spaced was a recipe for bird strikes. By replacing them with fewer larger machines, means that when birds "go in for the kill", they are now below, rather than the same altitude, of the spinning blades. Also, there is much more air space between machines, for the birds to circle in. This cuts the incidence of bird strikes, to less than 1/5 the previous number, allowing the populations of owls, falcons, and eagles to recover. All that, and we have more power, with far less consequence.

@hugheaston75983 жыл бұрын
Wind and solar don't do a damn thing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Both are intermittent energy sources that only generate for a minority of the time (about 30 percent for wind, 10 percent for solar). That means something else (usually coal or gas) has to generate for the remaining 70 to 90 percent of the time, to provide the continuous supply of electricity people need. Basically they're a green fig leaf for what is actually mostly fossil fueled electricity.

By the way, an incomparably greater number of birds die because of domestic cats, skyscrapers, and even traffic.

Building a windmill farm causes millions of tons of CO2 to be put into the air. It starts with the mining of the ore to make the steel, copper, aluminum, glass fiber, and plastic materials needed to build them. More CO2 is emitted by shipping all these materials by diesel trucks to a factory and then to the site. Even the worker's emissions of CO2 need to be counted. At the site more tons of CO2 are pumped into the air in building the massive concrete foundations. Then over their life, they will go through tens of thousands of gallons of oil needed to maintain their gearboxes and such. Added to all this is the CO2 emitted by the building of the necessary transformers, power lines, and roads. After all that they produce power in some places only a few hours each day, they clearly do not produce zero CO2 for each kWh of power as their proponents claim. Several studies have shown that most wind farms generate far more CO2 in their lifetime than they offset when compared to natural gas-generated electric power. Adding their downside is the fact that kill endangered species, destroy the beautiful countryside and cause noise pollution to the point that thousands of homes across the nation have become unlivable. All that and they produce power at a cost many time that of traditional generating systems. On their positive side, thousands of politicians, and business people have made millions of dollars by getting their hands on tax dollars, for without that they simply cannot produce power at a cost that anyone could afford in a totally free market. It's time to stop building them... and return the world's countryside to normal...

This video is actually quite realistic. It confirmed my theory, that the number of bird strikes are but a few dozen a year, not the hundreds, or thousands, claimed by the radicals, whom are not willing to see the whole picture on all the problems being solved by renewable energy. It's fun, watching them latch on to that, and use that as ammunition against wind energy. It's a lot like the Anti-nuclear crowd, always referring to Chernobyl, and Fukushima, when ever someone mentions nuclear power.(at least, they have a point) Right now, it's cheaper to install wind and solar, than new coal, and natural gas. The only problem with nuclear energy, is that it is now one of the most expensive options. Wind and solar will win on a purely economic standpoint. The only thing keeping it from taking over, is the problem with storing excess energy, so it can be dispatched when needed. That's still expensive, because it hasn't matured yet, like generating capacity has. It will be a couple of decades, before we will have enough energy storage, to displace the need for base load plants.(coal, nuclear, natural gas) For now, it will have to start out small, serving as a replacement for peaker plants. I'm a big fan of the big fans!

This is a great clip. You have to remember that in the 1980s this technology was new and we didn't know as much as we do now. Like they showed, the larger turbines end up being better for the birds. They go from maybe 75 to 100 feet, up to now 3 to 400 feet. Most of the people that have negative comments need to do more research and better understand the technology as well as understand the negative implications of other forms of energy production. As long as scientists as well as energy companies work together, a common goal can be met while pleasing both sides.

Birds have great peripheral vision. They're especially astute to any kind of motion. Birds are always aware of their surroundings. It's hard for me to imagine how a bird could miss a turbine blade, as big as an airplane wing, flying through the air at 120~180 miles per hour! Even if they've got their eye on a nice, tasty squirrel, or snake, I still don't see how they would miss the giant rotating blades of a turbine. Just TRY to sneak up on a bird, let me know how successful you are.(NOT!) Domestic birds may not be as cautious, because they're familiar with man-made structures. Wild birds, will immediately recognize any kind of movement in their proximity. I just don't understand how they wouldn't be aware of those huge, fast moving blades. Installing larger, and fewer turbines should help a lot, because they're higher off the ground. By the time a bird of prey "goes for the kill", they would be below the blades of the large turbines, but unfortunately, at the same altitude as the small turbines. That, and so many of them placed close together, is kind of a "recipe" for bird strikes. Few, taller machines, spaced farther away from each other should all but solve the problem.
