this discussion in ba.transportation.  Note followups.

=v= The root of the problem is that the windmills are sited in
the middle of a migratory route.  Why someone would take a very
benign technology and put it in such a location is baffling to
me.  (But hey, it's not as bad as putting a nuclear power plant
on a faultline, is it?)

=v= You write as if you think this is *the* solution, if only
those goshdurn enviros weren't so stupid.  I don't know every
aspect of this particular issue, but offhand I don't see your
proferred addressing the root of the problem -- and the "as
many birds" part doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
