ORIGINAL: Onime No Kyo I completely dont believe that even hundreds of wind platforms would significantly disrupt bird migratory patterns. Theyre not lemmings, afaik. As for fish, I say we've screwed up their migratory pasterns enough already that simply improving the facilities we already have in place, making them more efficient, etc shouldnt harm them more than it does now. Actually, you'd be wrong. There are lots of migratory birds killed by large-scale windmills annually. Unintended consequence of the build-up in wind power. Oops. Yes-large scale hydro is cool, where you can get it. Even so, it's only going to be able to supply <10% of our electrical consumption for this country. Since I assume that you're anti-nuke and anti-coal, what's left? Biomass? Wave power? Yes, yes, I know-the workers control the means of production. [:'(] I assume dozens of birds will also knock themselves out crashing into the new WTC buildings. [sm=dizzy.gif] Actually, I'm not anti nuke at all. Wave power sounds like a cool concept but the technology is quite a bit behind requirement. Maybe if we spent more money on research.... [:)]
