And they look ugly as well. Personally I hope we can get rid of wind turbines as soon as possible.
- crdoconnor 9y agoThey kill one bird for every ten thousand killed by housecats.
- ocschwar 9y agoWhen they're situated in mountain passes, they kill a lot of birds. When they're situated in windswept plains, they do not.
- circlefavshape 9y agoFYI they kill a lot of bats too. Many of them are turned off at certain times so as to kill fewer (source - wife is a bat-ologist)
- sghi 9y agoThat is true, they do, but in the UK at least all new ones/sites do need full ecological impact assessments (there are various levels of assessment needed depending on habitat suitability) and hopefully there will be a lessening on the problem long-term - off-shore is the way to go, of course! (I do/help with these assessments)
