Why we don't have more wind farms in Hawaii
#16
One could make the argument that sometimes we need to invest in better cleaner sources of energy and that might not make "sense" in economic terms, but in other terms it could be considered necessary.

IMO, they are ugly and kill birds.. and Hawaii is big on saving native birds. Ive never read anything just heard from others this is some of the reason...


They don't kill birds. Early designs did because of their higher rotational speeds, but due to new gearing designs they turn slowly and don't pose a hazard to birds. The link you included about birds dying was due to stadium lights.
