Wind turbines are unreliable, ugly, expensive, dangerous, short life span, will /could never even come close to meeting demand or be counted on…….Should be totally abandoned! PERIOD!

N.S. wind turbine goes up in flames yesterday

Another N.S. collapse couple years ago.

So much for wind energy!

Used to travel to Vernon often, but after the breakup, I never went that way till 2 summers ago.
Really enjoyed that part of the drive back in the 90's til 2000.
To me it was interesting to see how the trees next to the highway that were now exposed were all being blown down.
Drove there a couple years back and couldn't believe it.
On the drive up, smoke filled the area, so I never saw the turbines.
On the way back, I couldn't believe how in less than 15 years how much had been logged.
The turbines were a surprise and yes not the most beautiful thing to see.
But then again, with not trees around neither was the rest of the area.
Want power, there has to be a way to provide it.
Far less damaging than hydro dams (large scale ones) to the habitat I suppose.
See them on Maui as well now.
Get used to it.
Solar panels I guess one day too.

Hunted near Guiliam Lake this year, surprised to see the horizon lined with the windmills. A honey hole of mine which is quite near the mills was totally with out any sign. I spent a couple of days in the area and was amazed at how loud these thing were, I was wondering if that would disturb the critters. I moved off several klicks to another honey hole and lo and behold it was just like I remembered it, full of critters!
I was wondering if others found that the game moved out of the area or do they just get used to the noise.

What about burning all our garbage in incinerators to produce power rather than filling the ground in giant landfills? 2 birds with one stone?

I tested the incinerators in the GVRD for many years, one of the cleanest systems i have tested, we would routinely have to test for longer periods of time (longer than the test methods required) to obtain any measurably particulate and heavy metals.

I was jut thinking about this the other day, so interesting it was brought up.
I think the USA Aircraft Carriers, with 5000 + men/women on them make tons of garbage.
I think they are experimenting with some sort of "PLASMA" Incinerator!
Basically breaks down everything to their most basic, non harmful components.

They kill birds of prey

I think they are opening a new plant in Edmonton using a form of gasification. Seems like a great way to get rid of garbage and produce power at the same time. Burying it or shipping it to asia doesn't seem to be working that good.

I’ve seen a YouTube video where a windmill knocks a soaring condor clean out of the air. Also heard in some areas they take a heavy toll on small birds also. School groups had to stop tours with a carpet of dead. IRC’s on the ground.

Quite the eyesore up sunset, I heard that it was called progress ?

Poor you! The view is ruined!

They used to throw their garbage overboard.
