Whales washing up on the beach. You can bet their sonars are disrupted by the mechanical hum of the towers ....I sold transformers to wind farms across the US and Canada. I was turning a company around from suffering massive loses. When we had issues on site ....I was the first one down the hall headed to airport. The joke in the Company was "The President came looking for you. We told him, the last we saw of you, you had a hard hat in one hand, steel toed boots in the other, headed to Oklahoma to a wind farm." The issue is that studies are needed without government interference to study the impact on all wildlife. Windfarms are located in the migratory bird paths . We got a good idea of how skewed the bird counts were on site. In a Oregon Wind Farm, two coeds collected birds each morning. The pickup truck would be filled with birds and bats. Eagles, Hawks and Owls primary concern .....On the Federal report board in the contractor's trailer ......the count was far from what was in the pickup truck each morning. Moral of the issue? Do not let the contractor's count. Contract a private firm to count kills in the debris field. Get a real impact of what is happening around bird choppers.
