Maybe you should post citations rather than try to accurately remember
something you thought you might have read somewhere.

The truth is: "Danger to birds is often the main complaint against the
installation of a wind turbine. However, the Audubon Society finds that, for
each unit of electricity generated, wind power kills around 1/15th the
number of birds killed by fossil fuels.[7] *The number of birds killed by
wind turbines is also negligible when compared to the number that die as a
result of other human activities such as traffic, hunting, electric power
transmission and high-rise buildings, the introduction of feral and roaming
domestic cats,[8] *and especially the environmental impacts of using
non-clean power sources."

Besides being dangerous to wildlife and the food chain, that massive oil
spill in the Gulf will cost small businesses such as fishermen, restaurants,
motels, etc. a BUNDLE. Even large corporations will probably take a big ass
kicking from this environmental disaster's toll on tourism.

The spill is already costing BIG money. And the Coast Guard hasn't
even given there numbers yet. It's costing BP $6 million a day, the
relief well will top $100 million, and Transocean's stock is tanking.
