We need birds, too. Are you going to take down your house and/or take
out all your glass windows? They're the #1 cause of bird kills in
every study I've seen for decades. (see link below) Wind technology
has come a long, long way since Altamont, bubba.

You might want to review your motives in wanting to run the wind farms
out of business. Generation electricity by coal presents far, far
higher (and well documented) levels of damage to the environment,
wildlife, and humans than any windmill. But if you don't want to kill
birds or bats, let's switch to nuclear power generation.

Well, we'll still have the losses to guy wires, transmission towers,
and electrical lines, but they'll be millions fewer than with coal.
