(please read also our information in Information Archive in letter R about Renewable Energy Sources/Wind/Big Wind Turbines/Eco Audit and Renewable Energy Sources/Wind/Big Wind Turbines/Future?: Summary: Big wind turbines can be of enormous damage to bats and birds, especially to raptors – if built at the wrong place. The problem is the industrialists’ wind lobby, which tries to ignore this impact on the biodiversity of the planet. An engineer involved in industries close to the wind turbines branch writes, to invest in scrapping might be an advice.
07 May 2017: Backstage information: As it seems some politicians seem to consider, how to further support wind energy, especially the “green” party. “To support” means here to support with money, given from the government. Since big companies are said to pay no taxation, the money for subsidies is paid by mid market companies, who work unbelievable hard to survive – and often do not have any time to inform themselves about the risks etc. of this Renewable energy source.
10 May 2017: The wind power industry unfortunately in the past years has been able to eliminate stork and eagles/bird of prey, with the complete trees. So the birds “vanish” – as if not have existed - and the industry does not to have take care for any distance prescribed by law to the nests. It is difficult to prove this in individual cases, but in many cases there have already been findings to remove nests in connection with planned wind power plants. The nature conservation authorities/state bird protection authorities react, that in the case of a removed nest, the wind power operators also do have to observe the radii/distances – because the birds might build a new nest nearby to the removed nest. And this prescription lasts for some years - thus they hope to counteract the strategy of the wind power industry.
17 May 2017, Magazin Uckermarkkurier/Templin, “Adler das Nest unter den Federn weggeschlagen”: Today the rent someone gets for a large wind turbine on his field is 80,000.- (eightythousand Euros!) . For this large sum of money, criminal deeds are also committed, such as the elimination of a sea eagle nest by tree felling. As is written below the article, the nests of this rare type of bird are very secret.
06 Sept 2018 backstage information: Wind lobby seems to work in German websites to “protect the planet” in running “campaigns”. May be these widely announced & spread websites – by yellow press etc. - are only operating for interest groups in wind energy, to build more and more wind turbines. Owed to backstage information the wind lobby is extremely aggressive, threatening with lawyers etc. Even if they are allowed to build a big (for us bad) wind turbine, they want to avoid the laws imposed to them, i.e. shutdowns of wind turbines for protection of birds and bats. The topic in general was eventually not carefully planned in Germany. They argue that we have to build such huge wind turbines (more than 200 metres) to produce necessary current for all.
