This was an ecologically brilliant idea.

Swish swish swish....SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
About six years ago...I was watching a German documentary on the windfarm business. Syndicates were successful....money was shaping up around new windmill farms....optimistic views.
So the camera crew went out to a typical farm with the maintenance guy who visited every other day to check on five or six of these. As he got out of the car....he dragged out this big garbage bag, and the camera guy asked...what’s that for? And seconds later, the maintenance picks up a dead bird, and just smiles at the camera. He picked up around a dozen birds from the six windmills, and said that was typical.
Today, there’s three groups in Germany hindering new windmill operations. First, the landscape assault group...who thinks that it destroys the view. Then, there’s the anti-hum crowd, who claims they can hear the turn of the turbines if it’s within a kilometer of their house. Then you have the bird crowd.
Frankly, I’d say within three years in Germany....it’ll be practically impossible to build anymore and the peak will be hit. The environmental crowd....will sit there in shock...having the perfect gimmick and no way to build them.
Gee, picking up all the dead birds must be emotionally stressful for the workers. One, because the birds are needlessly dead. Two, because birds carry disease.
Nuclear power does not kill birds.
