Horrifying numbers of these elegant creatures are being slaughtered by the blades of wind turbines traveling up to 179mph. They're in places where the birds normally use wind currents while seeking their prey.
Michael Hutchins, the director of the Bird Smart Wind Energy Campaign, was quoted: "[a]lternative energy is not 'green' if it is killing hundreds or thousands or millions of birds annually. Our wildlife should not be collateral damage in our effort to combat climate change, nor does it have to be. Improved regulation and science leading to proper sighting, effective mitigation, and compensation would go a long way to address this conflict."
And this doesn't include myriads of other wild creatures who've lost their natural habitats to spreading acres of solar panels.
But that doesn't mean a thing to eco-freaks.
