On Birds and Turbines
Ian | 6 May, 2008 | 11:35A few days ago I reported that Ed Stelmach arbitrarily stated “wind turbines kill 30,000 birds per year,” however there is a reference for this: (Emma Marris & Daemon Fairless “Wind farms’ deadly reputation hard to shift” Nature vol. 447 no. 7141 p. 126.). I said that his numbers were a lie, however that was wrong, the point I was making however, remains.
It state’s that it takes “30 wind turbines to kill a bird per year” (the correction notes that this figure is only for raptors, the total birds/turbine total per year is 4.27).
