No one, apparently, thought about the birds.

I went to a conference of electricity generation between 25 and 30 years ago. It was stated then that windmill were an environmental hazard because they chopped up birds.

As per usual, these people think you can get something for nothing. The killing of birds is obvious, however, there is no way to put up wind turbines and not have some kind of subtle environmental impact. Removing energy from prevailing winds always has some kind of environmental impact on the ecosystem behind the wind turbines.
