I saw an interesting show last night which covered the windmill issue offshore. They pointed out that vastly larger numbers of birds are killed running into buildings, especially the reflective windows, than are killed by windmill blades.

“They pointed out that vastly larger numbers of birds are killed running into buildings.”

Well that is logical even though the windmills are not...

I’ve hit at least a couple of birds with various cars I’ve been driving. I doubt that birds flying into windmill blades are going to cause mass extinction, nor do I think that complaint has anything to with support for PETA. :^) Thanks glee’.

I think I saw the same show. It’ll be different species of birds, offshore. I find the whole argument rather specious...like when people excuse criminal activity by illegals by saying “Americans commit crimes, too.”
