When you're dealing with the left... you don't even have to make anything up to get a laugh...
March 12 at noontime in Washington, D.C.'s Freedom Plaza to highlight the threat that wind, a celebrated alternative energy source, poses to the American bird community.
"If I was a bird, I'd be an angry bird right now," said David Almasi, executive director of the National Center for Public Policy Research and director of the National Center's "Occupy Occupy DC" project. "Countless innocent birds that only want to be with their eggs die every year from crashing into wind turbines. The environmentalists who promote wind energy at the expense of the birds are green pigs!"
Monday's event is part of The National Center for Public Policy Research's "Occupy Occupy D.C." events at Freedom Plaza. The National Center obtained a five-week permit from the U.S. Park Service that forces the Occupy D.C. encampment to share the park between February 12 and March 15.
I know how to solve this. Anyone want to join my campaign to eliminate ALL energy sources? No oil, gas, wind, solar, biofuels, wood, hydroelectric... nothing... we'll just fart to blow our asses down the highway, eat raw food and and sit around on our fat butts until we die.
This is really an interesting situation when it comes to wind farms. Most of the better wind resources are in the Midwest - from the Gulf right up through Minnesota. Coincidentally, that is a major migratory bird route which includes prime habitat for species such as the Sandhill Crane. Wind turbines do kill a substantial number migratory birds, raptors, and bats every year - kind of a dirty little green secret that the public doesn't hear enough about.
Take a look at what has happened at the Alamont Pass Wind Farm in California. Those turbines kill over 1000 raptors a year, and almost 5000 birds overall - Hard to be green with all that blood. Thankfully, they are in the process of replacing those old smaller and faster spinning turbines with ones that will hopefully, reduce the ongoing carnage.
