The Ugly Truth About the " New Safer Prop Wind Turbines" - A must See Video.........When it comes to industrial wind energy full disclosure has been a major problem. All across North America the wind industry has had a field day dealing with the ignorance of community planners. Each community should do their homework. Why would anyone want to buy a car that gets 5 mpg and then have to drive it 25 years. That is what a lease with the archaic prop wind turbine is all about. Each community needs to invest in the new wind turbine designs. You will receive far more electricity with the new designs and in the process not slaughter protected birds. I am an expert on Birds of Prey. For all the green energy believers out there, there is a video you have to see.
Please check out the YOUTUBE video - fatal accident with a vulture on a windmill, to see an eyewitness account of what is happening to millions of birds across the world each year. Most of the dead are protected species and many are rare or endangered. The prop turbine seen in this video is not even spinning at full speed. It is spinning at just 12 rotations per minute. At full speed it will spin at 20 rotations per minute making this wind turbine even more dangerous to anything that happens to fly by.
Each year across America thousands of eagles, hawks, owls, falcons, vultures and condors perish at green energy wind farms. This video will open your eyes and your mind when you see how easily a soaring vulture is smashed by the innocent looking blades of a prop wind turbine. Most prop wind turbines have blade tips speeds of approximately 200 mph. This video illustrates why all birds and bats do not have a chance near the spinning blades of a prop turbine. There has been a wind industry cover-up about the bird mortality problem for decades. Most wind farms have very high security so images like this can not be seen.
Today in America there are approx 30,000 prop turbines. If the prop turbine industry has their way there will over 300,000 of these mass killers in the US in years to come. We are facing the extinction of many species of birds across the world. The first to go will probably be the Red Kite in Italy. They have almost disappeared because of collisions with prop wind turbines. Do plenty of research before signing a 20-30 year lease with the prop turbine peddlers that will end up being be a death sentence for the birds in your community.
Fraud is commonly used in the permitting process for every wind farm. I recently came across this fraudulent statement used by the wind industry in the Final Environmental Impact Report for the PDV Wind Project in Kern County, CA ………….“Scientific literature also suggests that diurnal vultures, such as the California condor, are not at substantial risk for collisions with wind turbines.”
The scientific community is very aware that each year thousands of vultures of every type are slaughtered by prop wind turbines. The numbers of dead vultures worldwide indicates that these slow flying gliders are not at all able to “skillfully” avoid the 200 mph tip speed a prop wind turbine as claimed in the Final PDV Wind Farm EIR. This video clearly demonstrates the danger prop wind turbines are to all birds, especially the California Condor.
Kern County recently gave the wind industry a permit to construct the large PDV prop wind turbine farm in condor habitat. A decision on another large prop wind farm, the Alta Oak Wind Project, will be given in November 09. It too will be located in California Condor habitat.
Over 25 Years ago at Altamont Pass, the wind industry was confronted with an astounding number of bird kills from their prop turbines. Instead of engineering non prop wind turbine designs that would eliminate bird kills, they chose a path of corruption, cover-up, and deception. Ignoring the kills, thousands more prop turbines were installed and the public was led to believe that Altamont Pass was just an aberration. Today the killer prop turbine design is still being sold in a larger design that we are told is much safer. The YouTube video shows the world just how safe the new design is.
The public is not aware that there are alternative wind turbine designs available that do not slaughter our precious wildlife and also produce much more energy. One of them is produced by Environmental Technologies LLC. If the corrupt entities of Wall Street, Washington, and our courts were not protecting this industry, this terrible problem would have already been resolved.
It is time that the world started paying attention to the future planned for us by the titans of industry. Prop turbines are all about functional obsolescence, planned obsolescence, and most of all greed. The outdated technology of the prop wind turbine needs to be exposed for the fraud it represents to the green energy movement.
