‘Thrown to the wind’ – are wind farms really killing whales?
You must log in or register to comment.
Let’s say they do kill whales. I’m guessing these people still want renewable energy right? You can’t eat your cake and have it too. What’s the alternative? “Lend based wind farms kill birds” “nuclear power plants are unsafe and still generate dangerous waste” fuck me, I’ve heard so many excuses over the years, there are downsides to all options, but we need to do something, so stop whining!
It’s not even a trade-off though. Yes, wind farms kill birds, but fossil fuel plants kill MORE birds. Yes, wind farms may hurt whales, but oil drilling hurts MORE whales.
Of course stuff is bad if you don’t look at the downsides of the alternatives.
Indeed. They’re all still better than fossil fuels. That should be the focus.
I find it both very sad, and hilarious that many people who WANT an end to the fossil fuel lobby get suckered in to to the bullshit that that the same investment group throw out against wind farms.
I’m totally for wind farms BTW.

Big ships are bad for whales, we use more and more big ships… Fucking windfarms man!
Seems pretty spot on to me. You left out the bit about the video being funny. 8 out of 10 possums.

Once they start talking about Health in Harmony at the end, the video is done. It felt like that appeal went for a minute, maybe two.

It’s so weird that the crossposted post is being downvoted. I wonder why.

Yeah I figured this is the issue but I couldn’t be bothered writing any body text. And YouTuber’s have a habit of using the first sentence or paragraph of the video description for their appeals which of course gets picked up as the summary by social media sites. Argh!
