I read an editorial somewhere concerning the small oil spill from the
oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico saying that windmills do not
explode or foul the environment but in reality windmills do kill
wildlife. In fact the average windmill kills hundreds of birds and
you can see vids of this on Youtube. One can also see vids of a
windmill “exploding” as it gets of balance as well. In fact, the
average windfarm probably kills more birds than this small oil spill
will.

That's actually quite deceptive. First of all, 46,000 gallons of crude
PER DAY is not a "small oil spill". Please show the links that provide
data on how many birds are killed via windmills.

Lots of birds. Lots of raptors. The enviros were ecstatic about
windmills here for awhile. But now they want to limit them because of the
bird deaths. Major problem is they are build in grazing land. So lots of
ground squirrels that the Golden Eagles and other raptors like for dinner.



So, therefore, spilling 100s of 1000s of barrels of oil and polluting
beaches is ok.
