Trump laid out a comment at the debate which got pro-Biden people upset. The comment? It centered on wind generators producing dead birds, and one reason why they might not be the greatest answer in the world.
So, around twenty years ago, I sat and watched a German documentary piece which was supposed to hype people on wind generators.
The public TV crew arrived in early AM hours at a site (3 x generators). Here was 'Marvin', the guy who was supposed to spend about 60 minutes at the site, and he had responsibility over a dozen sites.
Marvin got out of the van, and opened the back to take out a plastic glove and a garbage bag. The crew asked....what's that for? Marvin walks over and picks up a dead bird and then explains....the birds hit the blades...killing themselves. They kinda cut at that point, and go to Marvin at the control box....writing down numbers and inspecting things.
How many birds did Marvin pick up? Unknown. From the three generators.....there might have been a dozen birds laying there....to be picked up daily.
I noticed about a month ago.....some crew had experimented and painted the blades black. Just about all blades in Germany are white presently. In this experiment, they discovered that birds see the black blades and avoid them. You would have thought that they would have tested this color idea two decades ago.
This imaginary shock by pro-environmental folks with Trump? Well....Trump is correct....the wind generators kills birds, period.
