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 get to see the envirowhackos go at each other here. They protect the mighty prairie dog here in Boulder... you should see it. But, as protected animals will do, they overpopulate, and the county doesn't have enough money to gobble up more land to "relocate" them. So the solution is to capture these dogs, freeze them, and feed them to the mighty black-footed ferret in another part of the state.

Always makes for a good laugh.
