re: #47 UncleSam

A huge windmill farm was built in the Altamont Pass, an extremely windy area near here, at huge cost, after heavy political pressure by so-called environmentalists.
Then it turned out that birds would fly into the windmill blades and be killed.
So the same people demanded that the windmills be shut down.
Morons and hypocrites.
The windmills are still running, as far as I know, after spending more money trying to reduce bird deaths.

I’ve heard that the windmills in Northern CA are being blamed for killing bats. Apparently they generate a zone of low pressure which makes the blood vessels in their lungs explode.
