Wind Generators

A picture of the lighthouse in Lighthouse Point, Florida.Wind farms have been around for years. They are an efficient way to generate electricity however, there are drawbacks when using these efficient behemoths.

Although it is a clean, nonpolluting source of electricity, producing no acid rain, oil spills, or radioactive waste, it does have it's drawbacks. Some environmentalist call them Condor Cuisinarts!

The truth is these machines are detrimental to all species of bird life in the vicinity of their operation. However, the battle between the developers, the ever growing need for more energy and the environmentalist have come to one common denominator. Wind powered turbines are here to stay. Studies show that the impact of global warming, changing weather patterns and air pollution would be far worse for the wild animal habitat then the lethal encounter birds would sustain by the blades of a windmill.
