Wherever large-scale green energy facilities are built forests are first cut down, grasslands are cleared, and other natural habitats are destroyed. This is all done in the name of saving the environment from climate change.
Liberals are apoplectic when a land is cleared for a single housing development, factory, or shopping center, yet they remain completely silent, and often cheer loudly, when nature is destroyed so that a green energy boondoggle can be built. That to me makes no sense at all.
In my town I’ve witnessed the clearing of many acres of forest so that solar farms can be built. I was absolutely outraged at the destruction of the beautiful ecosystems that were the home of countless animals and birds. I’ve seen the erosion and soil runoff that results.
This has been repeated over and over again all across the United States for solar and windfarms. The same holds true in Europe.
The worst environmental carnage so far has taken place in Scotland where 16 million trees have been cleared away to build wind farms.
Since 2000, the Scottish government has felled around 1,700 trees on a daily basis, all to make way for “green” initiatives. Leave it to the government and their leftist abettors to harp on the “destruction of the environment” then chop down literal trees to create barren wastelands—all to make room for obtrusive, industrial, inanimate behemoths that obliterate all sorts of animal populations, and create massive amounts of environmental pollution (in production, maintenance, and disposal).
According to an article by Frank Bergman and posted to Slay News yesterday, the Scottish government’s scheme of systematic deforestation was implemented to “meet the goals” of the climate agenda. Is that not one of the most ludicrous and asinine things you’ve ever heard? Or perhaps, the move is right in line with the climate agenda, because the goal isn’t environmentalism… but rather communistic destruction?
A Scottish government official has admitted that almost 16 million trees have been cut down in Scotland to make way for ‘green energy’ farms.
These fools seem oblivious to the fact that trees, bushes, and other plants, absorb Carbon Dioxide. Will the windmills and solar farms eliminate even a tiny fraction of the CO2 that these millions of trees would have absorbed? That is extremely doubtful.
