He's SOOO creepy!!! Lol, when she was about 3 or 4, she used to pray to Santa. The difference between Santa and God was incomprehensibleble to her at that age. Which in itself is kind of funny because when she was 5, she wrote "I love Satan" on the white board in the kitchen and I nearly fell over until I realized it was a picture of Santa next to it and was a simple spelling error!

I remember when we were young, driving through the Appalachian mountains and thinking the same thing about the strip mining for coal.
And more recently, thinking the same thing about the derricks for oil drilling and Fracking.

Those huge windfarms even have Visitor Tours .....one of my friends son worked giving tours at the windmills out near Palm Springs.
They started work every morning by going out and policing up all the dead birds.
Those big windmills were referred to by employees to as .. "Bird Swatters" :-[

And buildings are known as bird barriers, cats are known as bird murderers, and vehicles are bird crushers. We have got to get away from fossil fuels. If wind turbines will help in that endeavor then i?m all for it.

It's not that the birds are flying into the towers....
The birds are swatted out of the air by a 150 foot long propeller blade....... going 180 mph.

Hmmm..........I haven't noticed a shortage of birds lately, at least not at my feeders. But I do take note of folks who are decrying their ever increasing electric bills every month and yipping for cheaper power. I guess the next thing we will hear is birds being roasted on solar farm panels.

From what they said, Not all the birds found on the ground are mangled by the blades.
I suspect the same thing that happens to small aircraft called "Wake effect" is responsible for many of the bird deaths.
sadly, There is a cost of every form of power generation.

Roasting on solar. Yes it has. There is a solar generator in southwest, maybe CA? It focuses onto a central point, and it has incinerated many birds, including the last known mating pair of the Red plumed fox warbler.

I did say I wasn?t an engineer. I suppose there are stranger things than a cowl affixed to a wind turbine. Here are a few quotes from a native English speaker:
These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder Which, as they kiss, consume.
Wisely and slow; they stumble that run fast.
So if you had phrased your post in the same vain as a true native English speaker, one that was responsible for nearly 2,000 of the words we use today along with thousands of quotes, I may have posited you were being facetious.

Hey, I hit a Red-tailed hawk with my motor home(wasn't doing 180, though). The coach still carries the scar.

I?ve hit, or been hit by, several pheasants both in South Dakota and Cambridgeshire UK. Really stupid animals. They sit on the side of the road and just when you get to them the stupid bird jumps out in front of the car. England has huge pigeons. I hit one just outside of our village on my way to work one morning. Had to pull over and took me 30 minutes to clear the grill of feathers. Dented my bonnet also.

They are indeed. I had a pheasant do exactly that a number of years ago, when I lived in Northern Illinois -- busted the windshield on my VW Squareback.
