I have a hard time believing that “bats and migratory birds” are killed by wind turbines. But whatever...
I’ve actually built my own mini-wind turbine that I plan to use at my cabin next summer. It’s powerful enough to keep a couple of deep-cycle batteries charged to help power the camp, and a nice supplement for my solar panels. Having said that (TM)...
Although I advocate wind and solar as a feasible means for self-sufficiency, the government has no frickin’ business subsidizing the industry. Companies either survive in the marketplace, or they fail. Period. If you support the technology, invest your own damn money.
Great post.
