I already mostly ignore bull**** artists like you. What more can I do to make the world better other than eliminate ecoloonies?
You still have nothing? Those responses get you nowhere.

Yes he does. He has actually done something physical to help the environment.You still have nothing?
I have parked right under them and they are not very loud,just the swish swish of the blades,they really are quite awesome.The only wind power that has a chance of being successful is from the
politicians who promote it If they can keep flapping their gums there is
still a chance. In practical terms the only ones to benefit from wind power
will be those who build the machines. People will turn against it due to
the noise, and companies will abandoned it because it won't produce
enough power.
In Alberta the oil companies are buying up the wind farms so what does that say to you?![]()
No,lots of people buy the more expensive "green" power,you get that option in Alberta but it costs a bit more.They're trying to eliminate the competition and or getting carbon credits.
Cars and cats kill birds,maybe look up a few studys on where windmills fit in.The don't use any more habitat then an oil or gas well and in fact they use way less,just a small road along their right of way.Wind mills kill birds. I have zero tolerance for that. Wind mills use up too much habitat. That's not a good thing.
What Kills Birds?
Human Causes of Bird Fatalities
Curry & Kerlinger has compiled the following information from environmental organizations and goverment agencies.
This list is meant to inform the public and to put wind turbine fatalities in perspecitve.
Glass Windows
Bird Deaths a year: 100 to 900+ million
Dr. Daniel Klem of Muhlenberg College has done studies over a period of 20 years, looking at bird collisions with windows. His conclusion: glass kills more birds than any other human related factor.
House Cats
Bird Deaths a year: 100 Million
The National Audubuon Society says 100 million birds a year fall prey to cats. Dr. Stan Temple of the University of Wisconsin estimates that in Wisconsin alone, about 7 million birds a year are killed by cats
Automobiles / Trucks
Bird Deaths a year: 50 to 100 Million
Scientists estimate the number of birds killed by cars and trucks on the nation's highways to be 50 to 100 million a year. Those statistics were cited in reports published by the National Institute for Urban Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Electric Transmission Line Collisions
Bird Deaths a year: up to 174 million
Estimates made by the U.S. Fish and Wildife Service demonstrate millions of birds die each year as a result of colliding with transmission lines.
Agriculture
Bird Deaths a year: 67 million
Pesticides likely poison an estimated 67 million birds per year according to the Smithsonian Institution. Cutting hay may kill up to a million more birds a year.
Cars and cats kill birds,maybe look up a few studys on where windmills fit in.The don't use any more habitat then an oil or gas well and in fact they use way less,just a small road along their right of way.
Go look up the stats if you think windmills are bird killers,you may be surprised.
I probably kill about 12 a day driving down the norwegian trail in Alberta,way more then a windmill will kill in months.

Windmills are not even on the list.
