What studies have ever shown that properly placed wind generation actually affects the birds. Anyone who lives in this area I am sure are aware of the flight patterns and where not to put the wind generators. These are not fast moving props slicing the air like an airplane. Please add some facts in relation to why the environmentalists argue that it would hurt the wetlands or the countryside. I have seen wind farms in operation. There should be a compromise here, not a total failure to look at the electricity shortfall fast approaching Europe.

Hopefully we will see a development boom in renewable energy, but efficiency and conservation will have to play a role too. Good post.
