Good enough for Padre Island but not Cape Cod..

A wind farm off the coast of Scotland. The Bush administration has weighed in against a plan advancing in Congress that would empower the Massachusetts governor to block the nation's first offshore wind farm from being built in Nantucket Sound. (File/Reuters)

"a critical migratory bird flyway"
It's not about the birds; it's about hurting America.

"The wind rush is on," Patterson said. "We want to be number one. We want to attract the businesses that build the turbines, that build the blades. ... We want to be the leader in the United States, if not the world." I like this guy's spirit and guts.

I wonder what the output will be when a hurricane blows through.

Indeed! Animals are tasty treats - just don't eat my dog.
I hope this article is accurate - funded by private sources.
I also hope that PETA (all of them) ties themselves to one of the fans after it's built. The birds could pick their bones before being sliced for dinner. Feast then provide one :-)

Great News!
Padre Island is sure one windy place, even when teenage boys are not there for spring break or post graduation celebrations, gulping all of those brewskies and scarfing tacos.
Then it really get's windy but that's not off shore wind and you certainly don't want to be down wind from them.

Wind farm plans have also sparked disputes, including a bitter fight over a proposed 130-turbine wind farm off Cape Cod, Mass., where the residents fear the turbines will be unsightly. If the Kennedies steer boats as badly as they do planes and cars, I don't think I would want to build anything valuable near where they drink.

"But some environmentalists say the promise of clean energy may not be worth the deaths of countless birds ..."
These morons will never be satisfied.
I can think of plenty of reasons to oppose wind farms...but this is not one of them.
To: NormsRevenge
But some environmentalists say the promise of clean energy may not be worth the deaths of countless birds that migrate through the area each year on their way to and from winter grounds in Mexico and Central America. Most environmentalist's feet never leave the concrete. ...much less seen how high migrating birds fly.
I bet the fishing will be great around these man-made "reefs".
To: NormsRevenge
The "environmentalists" would block a damn windfarm on the moon. A bunch a blowhards that should all be forced to live in caves.
As slow as these things turn any bird that can't get out of the way should be subject to the forces of Darwinism.

I would think that birds would learn to recognize and avoid a threat within a generation or two.

I don't know what migratory birds they are talking about but if it was a danger to seagulls I wouldn't be worried. Anyone who has had a house on the Texas coast knows we could do with fewer flying poop factories. And pigeons!!!!!! don't get me started on them!!
