do they spin as the turbine spins?

Sheep find shade in just about any place, this post amazes me because i lived around these guys.
Cscam246
I like how the towers Shadow is full so the rest congrigate in the shadow of the blades.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
I assume it's quite warm in that region?

They said the same about pipelines. They found that the caribou population actually grew and would congregate around the pipes for warmth.
thefishguru
Pipelines aren’t the issue in caribou country. Cutlines for seismic projects are and the methods for making cutlines have become much better
allahkirby
Now. When they were building the Alaskan Pipeline it was all about how it would devastate the caribou.
thefishguru
The issue is straight lines of cut trees create fragmented habitats. Wolves use those cutlines to watch for animals passing across them 1/2
thefishguru
By creating bends in the survey plan, woody fallen debris after the work is done, and artificial hills. We can negate most of the issues 2/2
baturro
The sheep that use the blade's shadows must be very fast.
Thecynicalspud
Because apparently the tower can't produce a shadow.

When you thrive on your fans throwing shade
milofrank2
Freshly peeled sheeps!
Sumdumguy42
I feel bad for the animals using the shadow of the actual blades.
belovedmadman
It's weird symbolism
Sauroctonus
Sometimes the blades are locked, especially in high winds.

They mean birds.

More birds dies hitted by aircraft than big wind turbines ;)

pet cats are probably worse for birds? but these wind turbines ive seen were actually pretty loud this is how they are bad for wildlife?
LearningOnImgur
Outdoor cats are estimated to kill birds in the hundreds of millions/yr. Turbines its like 10k.
JimJonesKoolAidSurvivor
But the birds that get killed are the apex predators likes eagles and hawks
Thecynicalspud
Wind turbines aren't loud. There is a low frequency hum, but not loud enough to cause any effects on wildlife or human populations.
TheS4ndm4n
Domestic cats kill about 100.000 times more birds then windmills.
asifwewouldbesomeonebetter
Yes. As we can clearly see in this picture, the shadow of the turbine creates very weird mold on the ground. That stuff must be noxious.

They're sheep so like...twice as noxious.

White molds are actually not that bad for you. It's the blacks that you should be afraid of.

What is a dude farm?
madeaweirdcommentchangedmyname
It's where they raise the dudes to adolescence before sending them to a dude ranch.
spudpicker
theatand
I am guessing it is like a dude ranch, which is kinda like a guest ranch I think.
Richarmeleon
Cowboys were the original dudes weren't they?
bmjflow
Most often, the farmers are the ones opposing wind farms though.
AaronGodgers
Not the ones who have them on their land $$$
Shardinian
Sometimes, it's every-fricken-one. Google Ontario Green Energy Act and discover the horror show.
dolphindreamsandsatan
Which is weird because the turbine owners are actually great tenants! The check arrives before due date. Same w cell towers...
NotVeryHelpful
You mean the wild animals don’t voice their complaints?
ocegur
Nope, because they get money from it.
GigiDundas
exactly, power companies either lease the land for the turbine or the farmer owns the turbine and power companies pay for the power.
Towelyban
This comment chain is an absolute mess.
ocegur
Yep, who will have the more educated downvotes?!
BTass
Yes and no, they also sigh over a ton of rights up to 40 acres per turbine. They don't like doing that.
GigiDundas
that may be true some places but here in Montana it's not.
Thecynicalspud
Depends on what the contract says. You can get clauses in there to ensure that the farm is kept tidy, that maintenance vehicles can use 1/2
Thecynicalspud
certain tracks and nothing else, etc. 2/2
nochance219
Live in the corn belt - the fight is on here to keep windmills out. A competent farmer doesn't need to whore his land out to big wind.
safetysarahmander
Recently moved from Colorado's farm country...I know many competent farmers consistently getting screwed by weather and markets. I don't
safetysarahmander
think any less of the ones with wind or gas leases. Another factor here is the percent of absentee landowners. The people actually farming
Thecynicalspud
It's not about competency. It's about what the farmer wants to do with their land. Plus, in most cases, it actually benefits the community.
nochance219
How would Big Wind help my local community? The bulk of the workers installing them are not hired locally. They are an eyesore and impede 1/

How you know this a farm? Where’s the red barn?? hmmm!!!

Sheep have clearly been sheared recently...
