Could Windfarms And Birds Get Along After All?

going_the_2Rpi_way writes "There's an ongoing argument as to whether wind farms actually are as environmentally friendly as is generally imagined. Opponents argue that the effect these farms have on local wildlife (birds, bats, etc.) may range from disruptive to devastating. Well, it seems they've hit a nerve and ecologists are beginning addressing the issue and have begun to found some encouraging results: Birds not being killed. The debate goes on ..."

Re:The problem with wind farms is not the bird.

Short answer: Yes, I am.

Long answer: over the years I find myself hating the resentless breeding of humans, and their need to stuff every last bit, nook and cranny, stomping over and destroying everything in their path. And while I realize I'm part of them too, short of wishing I'd never been born at all there's nothing that I can realistically do about that now. Mind you, I enjoy living but the fact is that the world would have been a better place without me, just because overpopulation would have been, however infinitesimally, reduced.

In my opinion humankind should take every measure possible to reduce population gradually and voluntarily to around 100M and choose quality over quantity. If we don't, 'nature' will reduce both quantity and quality for us.

Now, does that answer your question ?
