"Councillors back Lewis wind plan
A proposed wind farm that has sparked rows about its threat to birds and how many jobs it will create has won approval from councillors."

I'm all for wind power. I think it shouldn't be too difficult for the designers to figure out some way to scare the birds away from the towers with some sort of sonic frequency or even an active warning system that detects a bird via radar and warns it off with some sort of channelled sound wave or something.

The people who fight against nuclear power, fossil fuels, hydroelectric, and every other means of power generation today, and then complain about viable renewable energy, need to weigh all the facts before scuttling a real solution to global warming we can build right now.
