I am sure both sides of the fence put spin on things but here is an interesting read. They also talk about birds and bats. But do a little more research and one finds that the birds killed by wind turbines are a very small fraction (less than one percent) that are killed by buildings both in the day and night. No perfect solution but I would be happy to see a whole lot more windmills than refineries.

There are definitely lots of abandoned wind mills around us here in Palm Springs but if you take the tour they inform that the new turbines are quite often 100's of times more output than the old ones, and when you see them its obvious. Interesting times we live in.
