I didn't say they belong ANYWHERE, except in jest to Sen. Bingaman, who is a blithering idiot. There are no raptors or migratory birds in the Great Plains?
Surely you realize there is plenty of good data regarding wind and (if you so choose) birds to aid in determining the best and most desirable places to site wind turbines.
Although the toy pinwheels in CA have killed raptors and other birds by the hundreds, studies at the various Iowa wind farms show that the bird kill is virtually nil.
At any rate, plate glass windows and traffic likely kill more birds than wind turbines ever could.
