Yes, really.

They're not "fixed highways," whatever you want to call them. The birds will fly around.

Indeed, there are hundreds of these windmills in Big Spring, Texas. Heard the same B.S. about killing migratory birds and invisible blades.

Have yet to see mass killoffs of the birds going South.

I have seen birds fly over, under, and around them, though.

You're missing the point. I'm not implying the flyways are "fixed highways"... duh! That particular flyway is a huge migration zone and regardless of what you've witnessed in Big Spring, it's a dumb idea.

Like I said earlier. Allowing offshore drilling again would answer most of our energy problems. The enviro wackos don't like either idea, but allowing offshore drilling miles from shorelines isn't near as much of an eyesore as hundreds of turbines being erected right off the land.
