The National Audubon Society and other similar organizations has been warning about this issue since the turbine industry got a foot-hold. While we're told this is a 'green technology,' this technology does not meet green standards because of the massive wildlife kills caused.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY CLAIMS STATING OTHERWISE!

Thousands of birds, bats and insects are killed each day by massive wind turbines because humans believe they can use technology to get what they want and clean up their messes. The problem is that it cannot, for too reasons: we refuse to address our own massive overpopulation of this planet, and no one is willing to change their habits, only the way in which their habits are met (by using the wind instead of oil, for example).

But "using the wind" still has dire consequences, and when the skies are emptied for birds, I wonder how many people will even notice, let alone care. They still use exorbitant amounts of electricity but since it's "wind energy," it's 'green,' they tell themselves, so it's OK. It's not OK at all and humans had better curb their own populations, the demands of those populations and how we conceptualize our place in the universe IMMEDIATELY!

When the idea of these things first
came out the first thing I thought of
what about the birds??? And, I may
have written my thoughts somewhere
on Care2 about this.

What is wrong with trees.......Trees
so much more for the environment
than these damned no good man made
contraptions!!!!!!

Again,,,,,,What is wrong with trees??.....Plant trees for life...............

B - Yes, I remember we talked about this. It was a bad idea then and it's a worse one now. Humans cannot use our "tools" to "fix" our messes, we don't have the psychological sophistication and maturity to know the difference.
