We know!

What would you rather have?

a) Power-lines running over your home, causing electromagnetic fields and other radiation, harmful to your health.

b) Your own windmill that may occasionally harm a few birds.

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! : ) Karens last blog post..My Garden is Under There...Somewhere!! : )

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.

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..
