The Obama administration has plans for wind power to supply 20% of our energy by 2020. Unreported, is the toll it does to 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, to go along with the outlay of huge taxpayer subsidies. All this according to the Nature Conservancy.
Effective energy policy is attainable with 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 Administration planning comes to fruition. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
