(continued)

Here's a story about birds getting killed, in a new government report, reported by the Chicago Tribune

Note: The shape of a vertical axis turbine (the kind being developed by us) is much, much less likely to kill birds, because they can see it all the time while it is rotating.

Here's the actual report at State of the Birds Organization. A beautiful video about birds is on the home page. A conclusion of the report: "Collisions with wind turbines.... cause significant mortality".

Here's an article about bird deaths in Scotland Sea Eagles being killed by turbines. One sentence says: "...Four birds were found dead in just over a week....". Sphere: Related Content
