Yesterday I had to go on a long drive. During that drive, I passed a yard in which someone had placed an obviously homemade billboard with the words "wind turbines destroy family, environment and quality of life."
I was flatly stunned to see it. I've heard that stuff about them killing birds but I've never heard they were otherwise contentious. In fact, everyone I know personally loves to go look at them given the opportunity.
Isn't even the bird thing wildly overstated?
Speaking in German numbers:
Wind Energy kills arround 100.000 Birds a year. Lovely furrballs arround 20.000.000 (likely more) Glass plates like windshields, Windows etc. Arround 100.000.000 So yeah pretty minor.
