Wind turbines cause ..... nothing.

Why would you assume I have something against wind power? Just pointing out the down side and if it is not corrected it will be detrimental to the ecology just like coal is.

I have no idea what side of the fence you're on when it comes to wind farms.
I'm just saying that all those people who are up in arms over some birds being killed by wind turbines need to look at the big picture instead of being tunnel visioned.

I work for a public utility. I also have experience with bonneville power in Washington state.

Wind Turbines are a waste of money. We are mandated to pursue them by federal government in order to continue to get funding in the private sector (bonneville, PG&E, etc.). They produce infinitely small amounts of power. They are useless. Pointless. A Waste of money.

Power comes from Generation. It comes to your home via Transmission through Distribution on the grid.

Coal and Hydroelectric (and actually nuclear) are where greater than the lion's share of power comes from.

Wind turbines are a baby fart in a tornado of other options. It's stupid.

I don't give a rat's fart about birds. I'm just saying wind farms are liberal feel-good bullshit.

Wind Turbines are magnificient in generating tax hikes. And they need an equal amount of coal plants to provide the electricity, when it's calm...

As long as the transmission network isn't "supra-conductive / no losses", these modern windmills aren't the solution.
