The Obama administration has plans to have wind power supply 20% of our energy by 2020. At the expense of the bird population.
The project calls for 186,000 50-story wind turbines to be built in California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, along with 19000 high-voltage transmission lines.
With the probable killing of tremendous numbers of birds as a result, and the outlay of huge taxpayer subsidies, all this could be accomplished, according to the Nature Conservancy, by a minimal number of atomic energy facilities. And at much lower ongoing cost.
Without the eyesores that will beset the Southwest of the U.S. if the Obama Administration planning comes to fruition.
