Most of the modern wind powered turbines turn so slowly that the danger to birds is remote. Bill Moyers had a great segment on that issue last Friday eve.. scott

There is some danger to birds; some do migrate through offshore areas and at night, but the net danger is probably less as opposed to other, "dirtier" electricity generating activities. Can you elaborate on the coal source? I keep having a vision of some lumps of coal in my car's fuel tank.<g> Where is the hydrogen separation done? How will we get the hydrogen to the individual user economically? I guess that wind farm is in West Texas. I did see one on the south tip of Big Island Hawaii - even windier there, a constant 30+ knots when we drove trough. Unfortunately half the turbines were down at the time. uwrf.edu users.uj.edu.pl
