facts, analysis, exposure of wind energy's real impacts
Noteworthy
Wind needs to be part of that solution. But a critical question is this: How far do you go in trying to save the planet by destroying it?
Plastering Pennsylvania's ridgetops with massive wind turbines, to the possible decimation of bats, raptors and migrating songbirds, coupled with the visual impairment inflicted on these green mountains, erosion of thin mountain soils and the loss of public access, suggest to us that we need to find more suitable sites for wind and invest in less environmentally problematic solutions to climate change.
