This story bothers me more for the ignorance of our actions than for the actual results to the birds.  I guess I'd prefer that golden eagles not get killed, and some other birds as well, but I really don't care that much.  And I don't care about the lives of the individual birds.  These are abstractions to me; they don't exist in any real way.  However, I'm concerned about humans once again barging into something without fully understanding its repercussions.  It was the same with coal and oil, wasn't it?  How is this any different, except maybe in scope or scale or something.  I also always wonder what the weather effects are of wind turbine farms.  Do we understand that?  Is that contributing to torandoes and more severe storms?  I'm sure no one understands that either.

I just read an article about how Wind turbines are killing more than just local birds, they are killing golden eagles and other large birds as well that are in migration. They are attracted to the wind because it helps them soar so that is why they go near it. Its horrible that these beautiful creatures are getting killed by a made man creation.

This article really makes you think. Are the things we are doing to try to make the earth a healthier planet really helping? They are trying to make cleaner energy but in reality, they are killing off many birds. This is so sad, it's a catch 22. It seems that these wind energy generators are probably not the answer either. And the more that are made, it will just cause bigger problems.

Hye buddy, I just read an article that you might find interesting. Apparently, wind turbines that companies use for power generation kill a lot of birds every year. But what is troubling is that many of these birds are not local. These wind turbines kill a significant number of migrating bird too. But, often environmental impact reports ignore this fact. Hearing about this makes me feel a bit helpless. It seems that no matter how much we try to protect the environment, our effect on it is always worse than we imagine.

I think its really sad we need to do something these animals are precious and do not deserve to be killed off not only unknowingly but also so scary. Imagine flying like a free bird and all of a sudden facing a sudden death at the hands of these wind turbines. That is something just scary overall to be quite honest.
