WUWT:
The recent shutdown of the Bernagues wind farm in Hérault, France, marks a long-overdue reckoning with the lethal impacts of wind energy on wildlife—particularly raptors like the golden eagle. On April 9, 2025, a French court ordered the entire site to cease operations for one year following the confirmed death of a golden eagle, a protected species, that collided with one of the farm’s turbine blades in January 2023. The decision also slapped Energie Renouvelable du Languedoc (ERL), the farm’s operator, with a €200,000 fine, half of which was suspended, and imposed an additional €40,000 fine on the company’s director. more
Good! Now start shutting down US wind farms.
And don’t just shut them down, disassemble those eyesores!
GOOD! They also cause low pressure waves that will collapse hummingbird and bat lungs. The blades don’t even have to come in contact. They want offshore wind off the Pacific coast. Millions of birds use the flyway along the coast for migration. What a disaster waiting to happen.
In Cal they were supposed to reduce the cost of electricity, instead our bills are the highest in the nation except for Hawaii.
