Wind turbine walls off Norway: A death sentence for migratory birds?

Individual wind turbines, which already cause enough problems and contaminate the oceans with oil and lubricants, are apparently not enough of a concern.

Editorial Wild beim Wild — 5 February 2025

Wind farms planned off the coast of Norway promise even greater cause for alarm.

It appears to be intentional to shred entire flocks of birds here. The company Wind Catching Systems promises a total output of 40 MW and 99 GWh annually.

Up to 126 megawatts per wind wall

However, the wind wall as seen in the video is still the smallest solution offered by the company. On their website, the Norwegian firm promises an output of up to 126 megawatts. The question arises whether there are solutions tailored to small and larger flocks of birds. The company proudly displays photos showing the scale of such an installation.

Due to the standardisation and scalability of the system, costs would be significantly lower than those of conventional installations. The system is to be tested off Bergen in Norway. This is intended to be just the starting point for lining coastlines with such installations. How such a system could pass an environmental impact assessment remains uncertain. The effects of wind power on marine fauna are also severe.

101.9 million euros for the first wind wall

The Norwegian government has paid 101.9 million euros for the first wind wall.

In the course of the globalist energy transition frenzy, Norway too is attempting to move away from secure raw materials extracted from the earth and to rely on «renewable energies». The damage to the climate, environment, landscape, people and animals is being accepted as collateral.
