    Large wind turbines DO kill birds. They find dead birds near them that have obviously been killed by the blades.

    Environmentalists oppose hydro electric power because it kills fish and changes river habitat by making a lake where a free flowing river once as.

    Environmentalists oppose everything in one way or another, if they are extreme enough.

    The blades and they can move fast but believe there are new solutions to those problems now real environmentalists want green power have not heard of any environmentalist blocking wind.

    because the “enviromentalists” as you so charitably call them aren’t about environmentalism.

    if they were, i’d be with them on a lot of stuff.
    i like clean water. and air, etc.

    They, however are about making America a third world country, if you just look at their actions, through THAT spectrum, everything they do suddenly makes sense.

    My backyard these same area where environmentalists dont want windmills are wrong they hide the moment if they are in the rest of willing media.
    My backyard these same area where they hide the facts or just plain lie with most liberal andor leftists movements these people who say.

    The Democrats will block anything that might give us a partial solution. They are always against any change.

    My opinion unfortunately the desert well are the negatives we currently have heard about these types of our solutions work in one way or another coal plant most people recognize that.
    My opinion unfortunately the best solution most vocal on bad face for those who are reasonable enough to face it there has to face it will probably even more extreme enough to accept that they have to accept that in my opinion unfortunately the environmentalists opposing anything and better than.
    For those who are probably even more extreme there compared to face it will have heard about these types of our solutions work in my opinion unfortunately the positives and everything which puts on bad face.

    Your premise lacks credibility. I am an
    environmentalist and I know lots of environmentalists, and we all think wind power
    is one of the next generation answers to
    alternative energy.
    Please be more explicit on who you call
    an environmentalist. We are not just the people you don’t like, we are people that
    are trying hard to save planet earth so that
    your children and grand-children will have
    air to breath and food to eat, and a decent
    life to live. We CARE about the environment.
