Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Missouri’s largest wind farm is shut down at night....

Sounds like a waste of 60k acres to me.

Common sense would have Bubba running around with a pickup and a bucket picking up “trash”, you know, to keep things nice and tidy for when the biologists get to work in the morning......

But I’m Dutch, we’re big on nice and tidy. Maybe this is a better way?

Who knows that a turbine actually killed it? Probably had rabies.

But was the bat vaxxed?

According to the USAF, wind farms can screw up the local radar.

They were planning some wind farms near Sheppard AFB a few years ago and the USAF got it stopped.

You ain't seen nothing yet!

Two questions, they need 60K acres to put up 175 wind turbines? Who goes looking for dead sheit on 60K acres?

Pretty sure those POS turbines which never work the 16 years it takes to make a profit are one of the reasons for the rapidly declining songbird populations.

The blades normally dont hit the migrating birds but the rapid atmospheric pressure drop ruptures vessels.

2 years and 3 trips to the valley in afternoon and evening ive driven 35 to nearly 50 miles from the southern city limit of San Antonio before seeing a dove outside the Pleasanton city limits.

Other evening going that trip back north in the evening i scanned the trees and power lines around 7 ranch places with several trees and buildings without seeing a single bird.

Buddy of mine owns the Six Shooter ranches with the fans on hills. Used to find several dead birds near them years ago. Not now. They're mostly all gone. Not many dove either.

We need to build a monument to that Bat.

Unless they kill some stupid quail or something....

Pretty sure I know how to take them down now.....

Necropsy.

I find it world-class hilarious that the Greenies' favorite ox is getting gored by the tactics they invented.

That way the libs can feel good about tearing it down in the future.

1) Huhh? Need? It covers many different land owner's properties.


2) The company hired to do so - to meet the requirements of the permit to build and operate the wind plant, due to expected incidental take of an endangered species, thus, a monitoring program was established... Congress ultimately.

The tips of those turbines spin between 120-150mph.

They kill tons of schit all day, every day.

They are monuments to the stupidity of man as far as I'm concerned.

Front page article in the WSJ today.

"Lack of Wind is Blow to Europe"
"A decrese in wind in the North Sea has sent power costs surging in Europe."

I hope they gave that guy the rest of the day off.

I'm involved in a series of projects in northern Ohio right now where we get shut down for a few months of the bat breeding season every year. No lawsuits, no NEPA studies to get the projects approved, just a set of "guidelines" imposed by USFWS. They review and comment on our work plans for every project, and we pretty much have to do what they say with respect to the bats.
