Fatal Attraction: Birds and Wind Turbines - KQED QUEST
Loading...
Uploaded by KQEDondemand on Dec 7, 2007
With California's ambitious renewable energy goal, the state needs wind power. But California's largest wind farm cluster at Altamont Pass unintentionally kills golden eagles, burrowing owls and other threatened birds. Now, wind companies, scientists and environmentalists are working to bird-proof these massive wind farms.

What type of birds get taken out by cars etc??Wind turbines will take out your birds of prey as they need a huge area to hunt,swoop down onto there prey.If people cannot see this then i not know what is going on in your brains!So why should we take up more areas as cuties get bigger and so on.Where else will they go?

@MandalayWind What's your point? The video shows the stupidity of environmentalists clammering for 'green' energy and then endangered birds getting killed because of it and the wind farms are shut down for months at a time.

There is no such think as Global-warming, it's a massive farce.

NUMBER OF ANIMALS KILLED IN THE UNITED STATES BY CARS ANNUALLY: * 41 million squirrels * 26 million cats * 22 million rats * 19 million opossums * 15 million raccoons * 6 million dogs * 350,000 deer
NOT TO MENTION INSECTS AND BIRDS.
NUMBER OF BIRDS KILLED BY DOMESTIC CATS IN THE US ANNUALLY:
1 BILLION, AND THAT IS A CONSERVATIVE NUMBER.
SORRY IF I'M BORING YOU WITH THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OR VIDEO.
THANKS, GEORGE

How many cats are killed by birds? How many eagles and owls are killed by cats?
