A Word from the Wind Energy People

It Takes a 100 Foot Trailer to Haul the Fan Blades

 

 

But, those wind turbine towers, power over 15 million homes in the USA.

A good contact in Texas let me borrow this animation, to share with everyone.

Now You Can Learn All About How They Work

 

 

It wouldn't be a good idea, to start complaining about these things killing birds.

That's because, I have already addressed that problem and, no sense in arguing with me. 

You might as well, go grab your guns and, try discussing gun control with me.

Truth is, between wind, solar and the power available in the ocean, we could save lots of money.

And, tell those nuclear and oil people, where to stick the stuff !  Amen.

Wildlife Photo: Pacific Golden-Plover A Bird Visiting Okinawa

The Pacific Golden-Plover (Pluvialis fulva) is a winter visitor to Okinawa, Japan.

Their normal stomping ground is the tundra in places like Siberia and Alaska.

They eat bugs and small shellfish along the shore in shallow water.

The conservation people give this bird an LC rating in their calculations of endangered species.

LC means Least Concern.  Like, don't worry about it.

Maybe the conservation folks haven't heard about all the radioactive material and oil that's been dumped into the Pacific Ocean over the past year. 

It's probably not healthy for the wildlife that has to eat food from there.

When I took the photo of this little Pacific Golden-Plover he wasn't on the Pacific side of Okinawa.

Now, I'm wondering what he was doing over on the East China Sea side of the island eating crabs in the surf.  Could he have gotten wrong directions from the visitor's center ?

Or, do you think he's, at least, a little bit concerned about the food from the Pacific Ocean ?
