I've read some of the articles in scientific journals citing huge death tolls from birds flying into wind turbine blades on a daily basis. (And several joggers in my city report being "grossed out" by the number of bird carcasses that litter the running path located near the mayor's favorite "green power generation" project.) But I've never seen any estimated tolls for the entire U.S. and how the death toll would average out for the megawatts generated.

Thanks for the excellent informative responses!

Horizontal WInd Turbines building Instructions?

Does anyone know a website or link that can give direct insturctions to building a Horizontal Wind Turbine? Not one of those ones the size of football fields. More like a small model. Yahoo!

Please! I really need help! My partners on the project basically suck...and don't know anything.
