Friend of mine works maintenance on a group of wind generators. He has seen many birds get wiped out. You would think PETA would do something about that, I protest!!!

So, now it is the blight of seeing 2,000 windmills that bothers you, Thomas. Do you feel that way about oil pumping rigs and open pit coal mines too, or are they exempt today? Given the choice of eye pollution or air pollution, I will take the former. Del

Dear Thomas: I agree, Windmills are probably Ok in some places but I have SEEN a huge windmill site in a valley, talk about destroying Nature, I think oil drilling is less intrusive. Frankly, until some new technology comes around seems to me the only PRACTICAL solution is Nuclear Power, unfortunately that isnt going to happen in USA. Laws are SO STRICT no plant has been built in years, none is planned and even if it were to be planned wouldnt happen in our lifetime now. I wonder why the French were able to do it and we couldnt? jdn
