To Meet Wind Power Goals, Government Action Needed

I'm betting if Floorboard saw pictures of "hundreds of windmills" it was probably Texas. More South than West. But still part of the American expansion of the 19th Century, still part of the Cowboy culture that built the West and Southwest. Harnessing nature to live their lives. "Windmills" have been used on farms and ranches for hundreds of years here. Wind Turbines are just larger scale windmills. The studies are still being conducted on Wind Farm effects to bird populations and so far the data does not support any increases in bird deaths. We do need to carefully place Wind Farms to make sure that fly ways and migration paths are not altered. But not a single point of your comment can be backed by any scientific data.
