Survey: I read a science article that said all those “Wind-Mill Powered Turbine Towers” are…?
…resulting in whole bird populations being decimated by them flying into the propeller blades, so I wonder…
…Doesn’t it seem like there’s a “balance” to everything, given that “cleaner forms of energy” end up chopping up whole bird species populations? In other words…there’s always a “negative” to every “positive,” at least indirectly?
Wouldn’t those birds probably “agree with me?”
