Birds Up Against Wind Power

                 

The administration has extensive 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 about 19,000 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 other energy sources that don’t harm the environment. 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 and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
