It’s the noise that people dislike the most. But yeah it does also waste a heck of a lot of birds
There are videos out there of them falling down.

Imagine the gawd awful “MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM”... or “woopwoopwooopwoopwoop” when one of the blades going out of balance.
I don’t think the park people will be smiling with the noise and the bird guts raining down on them.

Hmmmn.
Why are the “artists” (advertisers of this scheme!) putting their women in burkas and headscarves - prominently right in front of the admiring crowds?

I don't care who you are, that there is FUNNY!
Will they still be a lovely clogged with newspapers, McDonald wrappers and Wal-Mart bags?
Maybe they could charge for ad space.

In addition to the noise, it is the incredibly high cost. These designs will make it not worth the effort.

One woman had apparently abandoned her headscarf. Maybe she noticed the Mullahs were on break and is enjoying some sunshine on her face.

Wind power is a complete disaster...Denmark, the worlds most wind-intensive nation, with more than 6,000 turbines generating 19% of its electricity, has yet to close a single fossil-fuel plant. It requires 50% more coal-generated electricity to cover wind powers unpredictability, and pollution and carbon dioxide emissions have risen (by 36% in 2006 alone).

1. The jogger and the young girl in the foreground are wearing light T-shirts while the people who are watching Ronald McDonald have winter coats and watch caps and toques, including the girl on the right side by the tree.
2. Follow the left arm of the right Islamic woman. Her arm goes under the middle woman’s right arm and then disappears toward the middle woman’s lower abdomen. Kinky.
