this dude

do you think he's half? he doesn't look full black to me

similar complexion to obama

Helooks like Colin Powel black, he just happens to be white though.

https://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10176/372_read-32941/#/gallery/33841 turns out windmills are huge insect killers that in return reduce the efficiency of the wind mills up to 50%

Oof

Eat the bugs

where does it say it decreases efficiency of the windmills by up to 50%?

the bug killing sounds realistic, but...

how would they be doing that?

i also cannot find it saying that in the artice

Ha

Wind green Energy Is killing the bees

Fuck you California!

Stop killing bugs, birds eat bugs

oh. i found the sentence ``` The phenomenon of insect strikes can reduce the power output of wind turbines by up to 50 percent – this has been the subject of extensive research in both theory and practice. ```

that sounds crazy

why so much?

@aradeshInitial research has shown that the remains of flying insects on rotor blades can lead to large reductions in the efficiency of wind turbines and have motivated the establishment of a global cleaning industry for rotor blades

@aradesh I was driving through Idaho a few weeks ago, and we were hitting monarch butterflies every 20 seconds or so

was it slowing your car down by up to 50%?

Literal clouds of butterflies

xD

poor butterflies

Yea

insects affect aerodynamics of the blades, if they are not cleaned regularly they will get drag that will increase

@aradesh Yeah, imagine the bugs on the grill of your car, but it's all over the blades

and in some cases, you have tons of insect goo dragging on the blades

seriously, given how upside down left-winged politics is becoming, how long will it be until they're advocating omnicide?

Tim did get them to defend fascists yesterday on twitter

they'll conclude somehow that humans are evil, having babies is evil, so we should make ourselves extinct

@aradesh That's already a thing

On top of that, there's a lot more insects exactly at the height of the blades because they use the strong winds to travel more easily, the same winds the turbines use

@Fitzydog from the left, feminist types?
