Broken Wing: Birds Blades and Broken Promises

Todays wind turbines Kill millions of birds worldwide: raptors are threatened with extinctionRequire significant amounts of CO2 to manufactureDeliver electricity intermittently at bestRequire enormous back up coal and gas fired power plants creating yet more CO2Can be unhealthy or harmful to local residentsAre deadly - to core component manufacturers and maintenance personnelHave enormous costs - paid for by the taxpayer There are many alternative wind turbine choices that do no harm to birds or people. They are far more cost effective as well. Only the wealthiest investors take benefit from todays wind industry. All of us pay higher prices for their indulgences. My intention is to encourage awareness of the entire story - of effective design choices and of how to bring change to your local community. Enjoy the many bird videos!
