Yeah but a cat doesn't power 400-4000 households. Yeah we are ruining the planet, but the "wind turbines kill birds" thing is FUD spread by the fossil lobby.

The alternative to wind turbines is more climate change which kills an insane amount of birds in comparison.
- isodude 6y agoThey do though. They also create an enormous sound, not where they are located but three kilometers away. The design might be the best from a effeciency perspective, but it's very ugly, doesn't "adapt" to the sorrounding environment and from what I've gather quite hard to service. We must be able to do something better.
- j-pb 6y agoYeah they do kill birds. 1 Turbine kills the same amount of birds as 1 cat. Highways kill way more birds than turbines. Lived near one, was dead silent. Stop spreading fud.
- isodude 6y agoMaybe there's just the same amount of birds dropping down from the blades as 1 cat kills, but that's a pretty crude way of looking at it. They have been around in their current capacity for a relative short time. We will not know exactly how much bad effect it has until things seriously brake and when that happens we already invested heavily in a lot of metal building that we need to maintain to extract value out of. Having less kids would be a more easy fast way if you want to combat climate change for one.
