Environmental organizations like the RSPB and the Campaign to Protect Rural England are betraying their members by failing to speak out about the devastation caused by the expansion of renewable energy projects all over the countryside.
That’s according to a new paper from the Global Warming Policy Foundation, which examines renewables’ impact on the natural world.
According to the author, Andrew Montford, nature is already being hit hard by decarbonization plans:
“The dirty secret of renewable energy is that it requires huge areas of our countryside and this is going to get a lot worse in the future. Wind turbines already kill huge numbers of birds and bats, and yet the RSPB barely opposes a development. Wind and solar power plants scar our landscapes and yet the CPRE says nothing either.”
And this situation is going to get a lot worse. Net-zero carbon emissions will mean a vast expansion of wind and solar farms together with massive expansion of biofuel crops cultivation causing wholesale devastation of the UK’s landscape and wildlife.
As Montford explains:
“The huge wind turbines that are envisaged for the future are going to be hundreds of meters tall, and there are going to tens of thousands of them. Birds won’t stand a chance.”

Green Killing Machines is the second in a series of papers on renewables and the environment published by the GPWF this week.

Back in 2015 the American Bird Conservancy sued the Dept of the Interior and forced them to revoke a 30 year Eagle Take Permit they had granted to the Wind Power Companies
Wind Turbines exploding the wind blows way too fast and hard and BOOM no more Bird maiming Wind Turbine Blow that out your ears Eco-Freaks
Why do bird blenders get a free pass ?
A Oil Tanker runs aground of a offshore oil well blows and dumps several thousand barrels of oil on the beach we get the usial response from the Eco-Wackos of why we must keep it in the ground some birds or bats get chopped up by Wind Turbines we hear Crickets These Eco-Wackos are running on pure idealogy and their own stupidity and ignorance
This is the reason we MUST stop this utter green madness, before they completely ruin nature and our lanscape ‘to save the climate’….
