killing machines

Remember those farmers in California who had their water shut off because of a small fish?

Where are those Eco-Maniacs now when wind turbines are killing birds and bats by the tens of thousands. Do only fish get their support?

Wind turbines are killing machines, as the state Game Commission report estimates that in addition to bats, 1,680 birds were killed in the turbines last year. And that was only for 420 machines!

What's that mean to you?, you ask.

These "green" efforts are backfiring for Pennsylvania farmers, and the bats which take care of their (and our) pest problem.

The 420 wind turbines now in use across Pennsylvania killed more than 10,000 bats last year — mostly in the late summer months, according to the state Game Commission. That’s an average of 25 bats per turbine per year, and the Nature Conservancy predicts as many as 2,900 turbines will be set up across the state by 2030.
This chain of events mixes biology and economics: Bat populations go down, bug populations go up and farmers are left with the bill for more pesticide and crops (which accounts for those pricey tomatoes in Kansas)

Science Magazine calculated that bats saved farmers about $74 per acre, and a total cost across the state estimated to be $277.9 million.

Not only the bats are in trouble, but also birds like hawks and other raptors. The PA State Game Commission report estimates that in addition to bats, 1,680 birds were killed in the turbines last year.

Email your state and federal reps. They are supposed to work for you! Demand that wind turbines be removed. Keep bugging them!

NYT Denies Natural Gas

The Times story was obviously motivated by an anti-natural gas agenda. It is telling that the reporter chose not to interview a single reliable source and instead selectively quoted emails from unnamed sources or well-known industry critics dating back to as early as 2007 to invent a series of inaccurate and misleading allegations,” McClendon said.

– Water is our life – it's our jobs and it's our food –

The Environmentalists are destroying this country and millions of lives with it.

Because of them and their little delta smelt fish, water was literally shut off to farms in central California, one the richest agricultural regions in the country.

Unemployment rates are now 40% because of the water being shut off. Hundreds of acres of crops are now dead. One million acres of fields and orchards also have no above ground water supply. People have to go to food banks for food. Fruits and vegetable prices have skyrocketed in central California.

Environmentalists are tripping over themselves to preserve every species that crawls, squirms, swims or flys (sic) but they are content to let humans die," claimed Nunes. " And now they have a government that agrees with them. This Congress and our President have chosen fish over people in my state."

 

– Obfuscation –

Here comes Harry Reid and his Energy and Climate legislation Bill. Just call it what it is – a huge tax on energy that will hit all of us. Yet the kool-aid drinkers still parrot Obama's lies about taxes not increasing for those who make less that $250,000.

So, does that mean that you, Obama, will pay my new electric and gas bills? Will you pick up the tab for gasoline and diesel fuel too?

I thought not – so you ARE a liar.

Senator Reid’s twenty-pound bill will be laden with lofty language about “clean energy,” energy conservation, “green jobs,” reducing “dangerous” power plant emissions, ending our “addiction” to oil, creating a renewable economy, and saving the planet from “imminent climate disaster.”

And all that climate crap is just that – crap.

The IPCC Lies.

Suppressed Climate Report

– Dire Straights –

So, what is in our future as Obama and his minions impose their will on us. From the June 17 report by Charles River Associates:

tri Increase average gasoline and diesel prices by up to 80% in five years, and 170% within ten years – sending regular gasoline prices soaring to nearly $5 per gallon by 2020 and $7.50 per gallon by 2025 (assuming other international price pressures remain unchanged);

tri Spur sharp cost increases for petrochemicals in plastics, pharmaceuticals and other vital products;

tri Reduce employment and consumer demand significantly, by increasing the cost of transporting people, equipment, supplies, raw materials, food and finished products – for work, school, healthcare, business, manufacturing, vacation and other purposes;

tri Cut business investment by $200-320 billion annually, compared to the no-LCFS baseline;

tri Slash gross domestic product by $410-750 billion annually by 2025;

tri Cost 2.3 million to 4.5 million American jobs, including up to 1.5 million in manufacturing and 3.0 million in the service sector; and

tri Force household purchasing power downward by $1,400 to $2,400 for a family of four by 2025 – impacting minority, elderly and other low and fixed income families worst of all.

Be alert. Speak out. And beware of energy and climate dictators and charlatans, and any lame duck session that may come after citizens vote to replace many of the control freaks on Capitol Hill.
