Wind and sun worshipping eco-zealots don’t hold a monopoly on hypocrisy, but come very close.

As nasty as they are sanctimonious, the more active and vociferous members of the wind cult have no difficulty in justifying the destruction of pristine landscapes; the dismemberment of once cohesive, rural communities; the creation of toxic waste lands in China (where the rare earths essential to wind turbines are processed); power prices that punish the poorest and most vulnerable in society; and barely bat an eyelid at the slaughter of millions upon millions of birds and bats, across the globe.

In a study carried out in New-Caledonia it was found that bats were either being sliced and diced by these things, or otherwise they simply vanish, presumably heading for safer territory.
