Wind power is good, right? Not if you’re a bird flying over the Altamont Pass in California. Now a group has filed a lawsuit over the birds killed by windmills in Altamont Pass.
This’ll be interesting …

Not just California, not just birds. Check out this article about windmills and bats in the Appalachias in the February 2004 issue of Scientific American:

I have long since come to belive that the “green” movement in this country is completely incoherent. If the President asks for authority to drill for oil in Alaska, they say: “No, that is bad, oil drilling will kill the caribou. We need to invest in wind power.” If somebody tries to build windmills, they say: “No, that is bad, the windmills will kill the birds.”
It is always jam tomorrow and never jam today. How about we just stop listening to these people.
