And guess what? This thing with windmills killing raptors is, ummm, “turning” into a big deal with enviros. Actually, no one likes killing owls, eagles and hawks.
Turns out that one way wind corridors are almost always bird migration routes. Wind is dead.
Too bad, since I think they are not the eye sore that others say.
I am not against wind, Just pointing out some details about it. I also saw something that there are much more birds killed by other means than by wind farms.
Have you actually seen a large scale wind farm? I respectfully disagree, I find dozens of towers spread in rows across the plains as far as the eye can see, blocking the view of the mountains, rolling foothills, and forest quite unsightly.
This spring I drove through the Pincher Creek area to have a look at what large scale wind looks like. When the Rockies are obscured by giant whirlygigs, I consider it a desecration of the beauty inherent.
