The Aral Sea and Green Energy; License to Kill
2015-03-02
h/t Gates of Vienna
Laced with lies and fueled by delusional dreams of a return to Shangri-La, modern environmentalists and green energy gurus are creating a crisis of epic proportions with the wholesale slaughter of birds and bats under the guise of fighting global warming. In their war to destroy affordable energy, modern environmentalists sacrifice birds and bats to the tune of tens of millions every year. The slaughter is so bad that in Germany, the yearly butchery of 200,000 bats is depleting the population up to 2,000 miles away.

When did the wholesale slaughter of birds and bats become acceptable to those sworn to save the earth? There is mounting evidence that many of these birds and bats are in danger of becoming extinct. Yet the western governments and the green energy zealots continue to ignore the body count and push for more wind mills and solar farms. Why will they not learn from history that you cannot continue to destroy nature and have it constantly rebound? Just like the central planners did to the Aral Sea in the 1950's under Nikita Khrushchev,[2] we are creating an ecological disaster of epic proportions through deliberate choices, unintended consequences and just plain bad science.

#5  Bats literally eat tons of insects every day. Not a good idea to process them in an aeolian massive blender.

#3  Very rare offering. A matching pair of Bat Egg - Kudu horn lamps. Wired for 230. No reserve.

#2  Also, I don't think bats lay eggs.

Bats are mammals. Live birth, just like puppies and people.

They say you can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs. Although why anyone would want a bat omlette is beyond me. Also, I don't think bats lay eggs.
