However I would disagree. Everyone’s idea of beauty is different but I have always imagined them as peaceful giants. They are clean energy and the farmers in this area of California ( Vallejo and Fairfield) do get money for these. Coal power acid rain kil... 

Also, personally I would prefer farmers to produce natural food instead of getting payed not to do so…

And if turbines help stop the lights going out then so be it! All the best, Jon

And a small price to pay for providing us with clean energy.

they would protest many other things first... "Results show that the onset of shale oil and gas production reduces subsequent bird population counts by 15%, even after adjusting for location and year fixed effects, weather, counting effort, and anthropic ... 

measuring. Or if you're one of the birds who is instantly vaporized by a thousand mirrors focused on an elevated tank you just happened to fly by. Another fun "fact" is that cats are what kills the most birds. Which cats? What birds are we talking about? ... 

My bet is evolution will have its say and most birds of prey here in Northern California will eventually learn to avoid them. Look up white moths turning into black moths in industrial age London.

of planet unfriendliness for another. Until we master fusion electric everything will not be the solution that's being advertised but is providing a lot of new money making opportunities.

Environmentalists can’t have it both ways. You can’t have some form of clean energy without trade-offs I’m atraid. Hydroelectric power needs reservoirs which depletes natural habitats. Solar power farms can fry birds if they fly close enough. There is no ... 

when it comes to energy. Hopefully, fusion eventually becomes the answer but until then I think we need many sources and should let the free market drive technological advances... or less people.

I'm sure that if the bird didn't get instantly vaporised by the focusing mirrors (on a wind turbine? Hang on, what are we talking about again?) they would totally be able to measure these things. But to answer your question, nowhere does the source say, o... 

conclusion. So I'm suspicious of everything I hear or read. I try to look at (and research) all subjects, then use the best fecal filter I can employ to come to my own conclusions.

Human activity in general has a profoundly negative effect on wildlife! That's an unfortunate point we can never get away from. It is never choosing between absolute positive and absolute negative, but rather between more bad and less bad... But just beca... 

Evolution works on the short-term as well as the long-term.

So logically, surely you must disregard all studies supporting oil and gas, as they would have much more money and influence to fund these studies, having accumulated and entrenched their position over the past hundred years? This is speaking from experie... 

These blades are big enough and slow enough that most Swainson’s and Red Tail hawks here in north central California will avoid them. Also each successive generation will learn not to go near them.
