Wind turbines killing 1.2 TRILLION insects a year

Where are all the vegans and environmentalists?

So here is something that you probably never heard about. You may have heard before about wind turbines being dangerous to birds. Birds are being chopped up by the blades.

But did you know that the wind turbines are killing millions upon millions of insects every year as well? In fact, the number of insects killed by this so called ”green” energy source is staggering.

A whopping 1 200 billion insects (or 1.2 trillion) are being smashed to pieces by the wind turbine blades every year. This is bad. And this figure is for the wind turbines that are in Germany alone. If you would combine the number of killed insects of all the wind turbines in the world, you would get truly frightening numbers.

But wait.

I thought these climate change fanatics cared about the environment? Aren’t they promoting veganism and things like that to care for the animals? Yet here millions and millions and millions of animals are being killed and they are silent about it.

You know all those people that want you to stop eating meat to save the animals, well, maybe they would want to save all these trillions of insects? I guess not.

In fact, so many insects are being squashed by these blades that it is leading to significant energy losses. Every insect weighing about 0.1 grams means that all these insects are adding 1200 tons of weight on the turbines, meaning that they are loosing large amounts of potential energy they could produce.

It is actually so bad that a study done all the way back in 2001 found that the dead insects on a wind turbine could reduce energy production by a whopping 50%

There are even companies out there that specialize in cleaning the wind turbines from dead insects using cranes and helicopters. So we need helicopters driven by fossil fuel in order to keep the wind turbines in working order. Genius. That will keep the CO2 emissions down for sure!

And did you know that wind turbines actually need oil for lubrication in order to function? Weird how they didn’t tell you about that…

A wind power turbine just collapsed in Sweden. People are being warned to keep their distance because...it is now leaking oil everywhere! Wait, these "green" wind turbines use oil???

My road trip through Europe…

I was recently driving through Europe by car, a long trip from Italy to Norway. There was a weird thing that struck me when I got home. There was barely any bugs on the front of my car. I remember going on a much shorter road trip almost 10 years ago and afterwards there was nothing but insects all over the front of the car.

Almost like there are less insects out and about now compared with 10 years ago. Now this is only my experience driving on the roads of Europe. But it did match some information I found about insects dying out.

It is reportedly so bad that they say the earth’s ecosystems are facing a ”catastrophic collapse” because insects are going extinct.

Now, insects are very important. They are vital for the continuation of many plants with their job of pollination. They are also foods for many animals, who in turn are food for bigger animals and so on. If insects went extinct, it would be a very bad thing.

The insects are dying.

A report fond that one third of insects are under threat and the last 30 years or so the total number of insects in the world have fallen by 2.5% yearly, every year. This means that if this trend continues, there won’t be any insects in a while.

Let us take a look at German nature reserves. There it is reported that the number of insects have fallen by around 75% in around a 30 year time period. This is bad.

Now I’m no expert on insects. It is important to note that the number of insects killed by the wind turbines are not that much compared to the total insect population, but considering that the wind power turbines are killing 1.2 trillion insects every year, I don’t think that is helping the situation.

”Approximately 1200 billion flying insects are struck each year as they fly through the rotors of wind farms in Germany. Such a large number of affected insects could be a relevant factor for the stability of the insect population and could thus influence species protection and the food chain.” says Franz Trieb from the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

So it could be that the wind turbines are affecting the insect population, yet we hear nothing about this from the climate change fanatics that are pushing for these ”green” wind turbines.

Well, they do seem to have something against bugs as they seemingly want to push for us all to eat the bugs all the time...So perhaps not so surprising they don’t care about bugs being smashed up by wind turbines either…

“From the currently available figures and the DLR model calculation, we cannot conclude either that wind energy plays a significant role in the reduction of insect numbers, or that it has no impact. From a scientific point of view, an empirical examination of the losses theoretically calculated in our study would be very useful as a next step. The goal must be to better understand the relationships between insect migration and wind farm operations.” Franz Trieb said.

So here we have a possible real environmental problem and it is not being talked about much at all in the media.

In other words, more research needs to be done to find out the impact of wind turbines on insects.

So please SHARE this article everywhere you can to raise awareness of this issue with wind turbines that they are not telling you!

A think tank recently published a defamatory hit piece on me trying to get me banned from the internet for spreading “climate misinformation”. Guess who is funding that organization? Bill Gates and George Soros among others. I am under attack by the global elite for reporting on freedom. You can read all about it in my earlier article here.

The Global Elite are trying to deplatform me using lies.

So please share this wherever you can to help support me in my work reporting the real news that the mainstream media is ignoring! And if you aren’t already, please consider becoming a paid subscriber to my Substack. That way you support my work and get access to exclusive, more in depth articles!
