That doesn't even count the roads, the bases, or building the dam things. Wind Turbines vs Nature: How Reckless Renewables Are Destroying the Environment - Watts Up With That?
This is a story about how wind turbines are harming Australian rainforests. It starts with a description of how old growth forest was bulldozed for roads to the site in question.
Twenty-eight turbines stood over us, each 226 metres tall, 91 metres taller than the London Eye. Around their concrete footings lay dead bats and birds.
Steven crouched beside them. “They light the turbines up at night,” he told us. “The lights pull in the insects, and the insects pull in the bats. Nobody is really even counting.”
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, and pay no attention to the real cost of building and maintaining these things.
