I hadn't considered the impact of wind farms on birds. I think we might need to keep thinking of new innovative solutions to our energy problem that haven't even been proposed yet. For example, a new generator has been invented in Tibet that converts energy expended from turning prayer wheels into electricity to power homes and street lights: http://tinyurl.com/ppbn57 That is the kind of innovation I hope to see more of!
