The faux environmentalist is easy to spot: they love industrial wind power and couldn’t care less about the environmental destruction it causes.
Faced with the rampant slaughter of birds and bats, he or she initially denies the evidence and then pushes the moral equivalence button, claiming that more birds are killed by cats, cars and skyscrapers. Ignoring the fact that cats, cars and tall buildings don’t kill apex predators like Eagles, Hawks and Kites. And also ignoring the fact that cars and skyscrapers deliver benefits in the form of transport and accommodation that make modern, civil societies possible. Whereas, heavily subsidised wind power delivers nothing but chaotically intermittent electricity and rocketing power prices, as a result.
New ‘Green’ Deal Democrats are only the most prominent environmental hypocrites in the USA. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Squad might lead the charge in that respect, but Sleepy Joe Biden has just thrown his presidential bid behind a multi-trillion dollar package that will be delivered to a group of eagerly salivating crony-capitalists, ready to plaster solar panels across and spear windmills into every corner of America, should he win in November.
Michael Shellenberger takes a look at what a Biden victory might mean for America’s rare, threatened and endangered species.
