Good point. The wind power companies seem to be in a catch 22:
Residents want the wind turbines to “blend in” with the surroundings, but the environmentalists want them to stand out so birds can dodge the blades in time.

What would you rather have?
a) Power-lines running over your home, causing electromagnetic fields and other radiation, harmful to your health.
OR
b) Your own windmill that may occasionally harm a few birds.

Great to hear you got something out of the article, Rana. Merry Xmas to you to! - Solar Power Roof Vents: Can They Work For You?
Hey Jo,Sorry if you never found this article up to scratch. Trudy and myself read over it again now. We wouldn’t go so far as to calling it empty, but it did lack some important details as you pointed out.
In fact, we have a better article (with video) on how a solar attic fan works and the benefits of using such a device. You can read here: Solar Attic Fan – 5 Clear Benefits
We are sure you’ll enjoy that article more!

Yes. We have a feeling “green energy” will be used more widely, now that we have a more open-minded administration.Just give it a few years…

The solution is to use a hybrid solar and wind power system.
But, remember the are plenty of ways to reduce your electricity bill without having to resort to wind turbines or solar pv power.Maybe our article on Passive Solar Design will help.

We have 50 windmill type turbines in the North Sea. They can be seen for 30miles. Why don’t they paint those suckers battle ship grey… The birds love them, perching and looking for nest places in the nacels..

Just can’t wrap my head around why there is such an outcry about hiding these things. First, the birds are more important in my humble opinion, and secondly, electrical wires have blighted the landscape for more years than I can recall. Seems a little shallow I suppose!
