If only they could combine this with a nuke plant, they could simulateously catch, pluck, slice and microwave fresh fowl!

I detect an opportunity to make millions of dollars selling and installing giant fan guards.

Wind power is a darned silly idea. What worked for a lone farm on the prairie in the 20s is nothing but a feel-good gesture now. It's also not fair to the raptors, who after all, are just trying to scavange the guts of crushed songbirds off the giant blades when they themselves get whacked.

only show's ta go ya that no matter what you do, the libs will NOT be satisfied until we revert to the pre-industrial rev days.

22,000 birds? including 100's of Golden Eagles? And they are expecting a "moratorium" on more windmills to come up with a solution?

What are they thinking? a giant net over northern California?

Face it, you environmental wacko's, windmills kill birds!, Now either continue your rant to return civilization to the stone age or get behind the clean applications of nuclear and fossil fuels.

If this were true, we would be inundated with pictures of dead birds at the bottom of the windmills. They are trying the same story with wireless antennas. Fortunately, BS does not fly well, no matter how hard it is thrown by the environmentalist Luddites.

We visited a big wind farm up in SW Minnesota- they claimed that they lost many more bats than birds, and, think of all the bugs!! Nobody even counts them ! Sob !

It has been known for years that windmills are cuisinarts for birds. It's amazing how flexible the greens can be when one of their pet projects collides with an endangered species.

I have a soft spot in my heart for raptors. Elegant, wonderful birds.

You have your light rail. I have my falcons.

...hundreds of golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, kestrels and other raptors, after flying into the spinning blades of the wind turbines.

Are these wind turbines manufactured by Popeil?

My million-man-math calculates 22,000 birds in 20 years as three birds a day for the entire 7000 windmill farm, or approximately one bird every seven years per windmill.

So THAT'S how they make McNuggets!

Rush talking windmills right now...
