If proper studies were done ahead of time, bird death should be non-existent. They have built a wind farm along a bird migration route here in Sweden. There are 12 turbines that 1.5 million birds pass through each year. They found one bird death between 1999-2003. And they monitor it by sight and by radar at night.

Interesting.
Does anyone know what wind speed is required for 1.2Kwh? Completed (installed) cost? How would this unit compare to the Whisper?

It got to be as effective as it claim in generating power. It does looks promising.

it seems to be a very effective piece of technology. It is cost effective and will ultimately, decrease our dependency on fuel. Let's do it!

I think a investigation of wind turbines like this on a larger scale needs to happen, I have seen the one at the botanical garden in high winds its a little noisy and wobbly, But it does not give shadows like traditional wind turbines, so on a larger scale something of this nature could be a really good solution, and if its at the botanic garden it's got the attention of the US government.

This is the way it SHOULD be done, vs. desecrating and industrializing so many scenic landscapes.
