Why I don't approve of wind power without guards

[Hugo Chavez]

So, raptors can spot a field mouse at 500 yards, but a huge wind turbine is like super ninja blade of doom?  At this late date, I think it's prudent to let birds continue the practice of self determination....We've got bigger fish to fry.


We're talking whales, here.

Animals are remarkably dumb when it comes to understanding the threat
from nonnatural objects. While driving in remote areas, they seem to
sense danger but their strategy is to rush across the road at the
very last second. I think they sense that the vehicle as being alive
itself and so expect it will sidestep them...Wrong! This happens so much
that they have little ultrahigh frequency whistles that one installs only
so the animals hears it to repel them away.

A Magpie had a close shave with my car windscreen a couple of hours ago. My natural instinct is dropping the anchors, but I think we all have that instinct within us, although some people dictate how dangerous it can be, and they normally say "just hit the thing !"

So if the US puts up a bunch of turbines along the Canada border, they can kill a bunch of birds with viruses, cool.

it's like prevent bird flu and harness energy for the states
