Since these wind generators are not economically viable without taxdollar subsidy, this is a situation of doing the right thing for the wrong reason.

Of course you have the correct arguement, but its nice to see these bad science folks at odds with each other. You want birds, or do you want energy? Could birds be harnessed to turn a generator? Perhaps we could use the energy from the wind turbines to power large fans to blow the birds to safety? Its all ridiculous, and this is a case that makes it very clear. There is always a price to pay, and we are deeply in love with our power grid. But there is a solution, tear down the ugly windmills, and build clean nice looking nuclear reactors to make energy and everybody comes out ahead. (Especially since nuclear energy is truely renewable and not dependent on the weather.) You can even put roosts for eagles and hawks on the roof. Heh heh.

I agree, stop all subsidies of "green power" and we won't have to hear about it again, none of it is economically viable.

Tax dollars and tax breaks support all forms of energy. Have you ever heard of the black lung fund?

I would love to see some realistic data on cost per KWh
from these wind farms.
