Won't wind power kill off the birds from the planet?

Question

With mounting corpses of dead birds, could it also cause disease and plague?

Answer 1

if you are referring to propellers that are used to harness the motion of the wind for energy, then no. they are not propelled by an engine, but rather by the wind. i do not believe that birds would even go near them, considering they are in motion most of the time. they pose no threat to birds.

Answer 2

haha i wonder if anyone has ever really considered the birds when planning for wind turbines?

Answer 3

Who needs birds? They're just loud & annoying & dirty the windows of cars. Some are good eating - they wont stay on the ground long enuf to decompose. ;)

Answer 4

There have actually been some recent reports that windmills change the air pressure around them which results in deaths of bats due to exploding lungs. But as with almost anything, there are challenges to wind power. Now that they have identified this problem, they can work on solutions.

Answer 5

Humanity has been using wind power for thousands of years for many different applications, and there are still plenty of birds around. Stop listening to PETA propaganda and use your own head.

Answer 6

Yes. You are correct. We'd better just stick to Arab oil for energy.

Answer 7

Birds have survived airplanes and cars.  I think they'll survive wind power.

Answer 8

Of corse.. al the birds are going to fly to the nearest wind mill to die.

Answer 9

only the dumb ones, same as people who don't use crosswalks, will improve the species

Answer 10

Have you heard those things? They make loud whooshing noises, the smart birds avoid them.

Answer 11

More food for the poor mate. We'll just have hordes of hobos waiting under the mills for a free meal.

Kill 2 birds with one stone, so to say.

Answer 12

You are right, hydrocarbons in the atmosphere are much better for them.  They said the same thing about skyscrapers but there is this thing called evolution which means that the birds will adapt.

Answer 13

Birds are killed at the same rate by cars, power lines, coal plants and everything else.

Answer 14

windmills have been around for hundreds of years in holland do they still have birds,?
