Wind Power’s Double Standard

November 1, 2010

This editorial cartoon, by Graeme MacKay, appeared in Canada’s Hamilton Spectator newspaper last week.

It observes that while a great deal of attention gets paid to wildlife that are inadvertently harmed by the oil industry, we hear almost nothing about wildlife harmed as a matter of course by wind turbines.

Wind power companies would never be allowed to set up shop in the first place – and could not remain in business – if they were shamed and penalized in the same manner as oil companies for the bird deaths they themselves cause.
