Liar.
Show an example of ever one bird getting killed much less millions.

Linda asks…
Why do some wind mill generators not turn in a windmill farm?
We saw large windmill farms in eastern Washington – most of the windmills were turning with the wind but about 10% were not…even ones pointed in the same direction as the ones turning… Why is this?
admin answers:
Down for maintenance of some sort or other.

Lisa asks…
Who and How are these windmill farm going to be built?
Does anyone know the plan Obama has to build these farms? Does he have blueprints, companies to work with, estimated power output, and etc. DOes he have any plan on how he is going to spend the money or did he just say we are going to gauge the oil companies to make an angry public feel better.
admin answers:
He doesn’t have any kind of DETAILED plan… Just some vague ideas. He drops buzz words and lets the media and general public “take it from there” and then denies or states that his ideas are misunderstood.
He’s got NO SUBSTANCE!
Robert asks…
How can I start a windmill farm?
Who supplies the equipment and teaches me how to service?
admin answers:
This can be very challenging on many levels.
First off it takes BIG Money. – I believe they look at at least $1,000,000 /windmill. For the land lease, a good road to the site, the pad/footings for the windmill, and then the actual windmill. Then you have to have electrical wire to connect it to the grid. If you aren’t near a main transmission system….It can take many miles of pylons and wire to get you there and this is pricey.
Before you even start, anyone that finances you, is going to want you to have a contract in place to sell your electicity to someone. Depending upon your jurisdiction this can be very complicated due to regulation. In my jurisdiction and neighboring ones, it is so regulated you have to have many windmills to provide the amount of energy they require.
There are also currently issues with sourcing windmills. There is so much demand for them that sometimes the only way to get them is to partner (and share your profits) with the manufacturer of the turbines. I understand there sometimes are used ones you can source out of Europe but I am not as familiar with this.
Also there are many issues with ‘noise’ or vibration so you don’t want to be too close to neighbors, and sometimes communities fight to have them at least a mile or a mile and a half from houses. You also have to deal with government jurisdictions to ensure you meet their rural plans, building requirements/restrictions, and acceptable use regulations for the property you are proposing to put the windmills on.
So a very drawn out process. Some jurisdictions are easier than others. Some are harder.
The easiest ones will allow you to put up one windmill on your property (subject to building restrictions etc.) and sell whatever power you don’t use on to the grid. The worse jurisdictions just make it impossible for you to do at all.
