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.
"That particular flyway is a huge migration zone and regardless of what you've witnessed in Big Spring, it's a dumb idea."
No, it would be a bad idea if was a MIGRATION ROUTE (a relatively narrow band of 20-30 miles). A FLYWAY, in contrast, is hundreds of miles wide. There is no ROUTE nearby.
Any duck hunter could tell you this.
"Allowing offshore drilling again would answer most of our energy problems."
While I agree we need more drilling, that's not a issue in Texas. Unlike Florida, we drill.
That said, we don't generate (much) electricty with oil, so no that will not help our energy problems.
In Texas (which has its own electrical grid known as ERCOT), there is an ELECTRICTY shortage in the Houston-to-Dallas corridor. (Indeed, they had rolling blackouts in Houston a few weeks ago.) More juice has to be generated locally.
