Alta renewable energy industry will cause little threat to agriculture, environment

And A5 compares me to the Nazi propagandists? LOL

See your previous post. You literally used the same expression.
Probably just a coincidence and there are lots of factors...

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Would you rather that I compare your repetitive, yet entirely ineffective tactics to the definition of insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
That might be more accurate, considering your collosal failure to convert any of your fellow posters to your ideology. Quite the opposite actually.
Goebbels was at least successful with his propaganda.
I apologize, in comparing you to a famous historical figure, I gave you too much credit again.

So crows are the only birds we have? Or are there other types of birds that don't do any harm perhaps? Or in fact eat insects and other pests? Naw that could never be true according to Crap!

So all birds are pests or just crows? Wake up Crop! Not all birds are pests and many are beneficial!

And A5 compares me to the Nazi propagandists? LOL

Just like anybody who disagrees with you must be a Marxist?

It must be the land of extremes in A5s little Libertarian mind.

I said birds are mostly a pest ,not as bad here in canada as most are gone for the winter ,in ireland pure pest around farmyard ,worst in winter when animals are in sheds , but you dont have much clue about anything thats not on your TV , thats my opinion and that opinion wont change anytime soon

A5 and Crop a couple of lame, illogical duds who make stupid claims and then double down on their claims when challenged?

A blanket criticism that all birds are pests from one and a bogus claim that more CO2 will be good for us from the other.

But how many times has crop posted a warning about wind mills killing birds and then he goes on to say all birds are pests anyways? Huh?

And A5 claims I am ineffective but then spends a lot of his time putting me down and challenging my posts? Huh? If I am so ineffective why bother?

[AlbertaFarmer5]

...claim that more CO2 will be good for us...

Have you finally found evidence to the contrary? I keep challenging you on this, and all you can come up with is models about the future effects. Meanwhile, the real world just keeps getting better by all measures.

Or is your obvious ineptitude a result of my successful efforts to highlight your gross incompetence and ignorance?

[fjlip]

Your winning like these ...limp

[chuckChuck]

So wind energy doesn't work? All the wind mills are damaged then?

Then how is it nearly 20% of Alberta's electricity is coming from renewables then?

The Alberta Utilities commission report on renewables says their is very little risk to the environment or farm land from renewables especially compared to oil and gas.

Give up because your arguments don't stand up!

[fjlip]

They are disgusting! Ugly, a waste of resources, time and $$$$

What part of this don't you understand?

"If all renewable development locates on (some of Alberta’s best) land the percentage of agricultural land loss is estimated to be less than one per cent by 2041, said the Alberta Utilities Commission report released, Wednesday, March 13.
The Alberta Utilities Commission addressed concerns that solar and wind facilities could leave landowners and the public with bills for reclamation when the facilities are no longer in use.

In comparison to other forms of industrial development, renewable plant projects have relatively contained reclamation risks, said the report. The risks with groundwater and off-site contamination are generally low.
The report is the first of two reports the United Conservative government asked the commission to produce to investigate Alberta’s booming solar and wind power industry. This report comes shortly after the United Conservative Government removed its six-month moratorium on approvals for new renewables generation.
The report found renewable power is much less of a threat to the province’s farmland than other forms of energy development and urban spread.
From 2019 to 2021, the largest driver of agricultural land loss was expansion of pipelines and industrial sites, said the report. Other key drivers include urban residential developments, mines, wells and roads.
The report said the proliferation of wind and solar projects will likely be more concentrated in some parts of the province than others.

The report also noted most of the wind and solar sites are located on poorer land. Wind farms use about five per cent of their lease area, leaving the rest available for grazing or suitable crops.

The report calls for more research on combining agriculture and renewable energy and said that current rules are adequate to ensure reclamation."
