Fresh evidence unmasks wind turbines as bat-devouring crucifixes that slaughter birds, insects, and entire ecosystems, carnage Net Zero fanatics prefer to sweep under the rug.

Fresh insights into the ecological devastation caused by onshore wind turbines around the world are contained in a shocking new paper published last month by a group of ecologists in Nature. The paper is paywalled and has attracted little mainstream media interest, but it highlights research that illustrates that the effect of utility-scale wind energy production “can be far reaching and sometimes have large and unexpected consequences for biodiversity”. An annual figure of around one million bats are killed in the countries with the highest number of turbines, but harmful effects are seen in many other parts of the ecosystem. The number of top predators such as jaguars, jungle cats and golden jackals can be changed by turbines in tropical forest gaps, leading to the “possibility for cascading effects” along similar latitudinal levels. 

In short, the science team notes that turbines can kill birds, bats and insects, change animal behaviour, physiology and demography and alter ecosystems. The installation of wind turbines invariably results in habitat degradation, but it is regions rich in biodiversity with minimal existing infrastructure that suffer the most. The authors state that wind facilities “are recognised as an important driver for losses and degradation of irreplaceable habitats that are important for conservation.” Such areas, of course, can be found in the windy highlands of Scotland. For City-dwelling eco zealots, it is a case of out of sight, out of mind. Net Zero is all about money and power – bats and eagles have neither.

The Nature paper is a wake-up call about the increasing damage that is being inflicted on natural habitats by wind turbines that are steadily increasing in size and destructive potential. It is a summary of the latest findings about the effect of turbines and it is not sanguine about the future. …

The Nature study serves as an urgent alert to the escalating harm inflicted on pristine ecosystems by onshore wind turbines, which continue to grow larger and more destructive in scale. This review compiles the most recent evidence on turbine impacts and offers a grim outlook for what lies ahead. Not surprisingly, this manuscript has been overlooked by the mainstream media.

Fortunately, the Trump administration is trying to halt this folly, which experts warn could unleash profound repercussions for biodiversity.

In theory, windmill and solar farms are supposed to use natural elements to generate power for humans. They are supposed to lessen human usage of fossil fuels and are a policy environmentalists have advocated for years. environmentalists only care about the environment when their proposals are not in place. Now that they are, greens could care less about the harm their ideas do to the natural environment, including animal species.

Ultimately, renewable energy amounts to little more than a massive wealth-redistribution program enriching environmental ideologues. They were fully aware their schemes could never supplant fossil fuels nor provide for people’s energy needs. Yet the Left pressed forward with the explicit aim of crippling the West’s energy infrastructure. They came perilously close to victory, but reality—mercifully—intervened.
