The big fans are ugly and they pulverize birds. Also wind energy is not as cost effective as some forms and the wind isn’t always blowing.
Wind Energy has higher cost than other more traditional energy resources and can harm migrating birds. The other two are false.
Answering your own question? Alright.
Are you having a good day? I’m Having a good one
NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard).
No one wants the big collectors where they can see them.
Edit: to satingou, I personally consider my worth to the world to be about the same as any one bird in answer to your question "who cares about birds".
I’d really appreciate a follow up to this!!
Where does it use fossil fuels? How do you define it as nonrenewable? Are a few birds really that big of a deal when we’re talking about a solution to the energy crisis?
I’m really asking out of curiousity, I’ve only heard the positive about wind power.
sant… it is a multple choice question with the answers there for us to choose from…it is someone’s homework we are to answer. the birds is the answer that others suggested. i do not know why people cannot do a simple internet search to get these answers sometimes.
all of the above +++
it will eventually change the jet stream and forever harm the weather cycle on the planet.
its not like they put huge propellers in the sky , the wind blows them round so its only gonna pulverise birds on a relly windy day and ive never seen dead birds and i go to windturbines all the time!!! umm, wind energy doesnt need fossil fuels, and is renewable…….sooo bwa hahahaha got you on that one!!!!!!!
It is only controversial to folks who are against it. Like all forms of energy wind has its pros and cons.
The birds will learn to adapt.
People will learn to adapt to wind farms, just like they adapted to horseless carriages 100 years ago.
There is no reason to think that technology will not improve wind energy’s performance over time. Think about how computers and communications have evolved in the past 30 years.
I love how the liberals support alternative energy until someone wants to put up a wind farm near their house (Teddy Kennedy and the proposed windfarm offshore from Marthas Vineyard). Who do you think is opposed to the windfarm (one clue, big fat drunk with the last name of Kennedy who is a senator).
