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." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environ...nd_power#Birds 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. Tanking? When's the last time you got a quote?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Guess you didn't see the 5 day graph, huh? http://www.marke****ch.com/investing/stock/RIG You call 2~3% "tanking"? Not much of an investor, eh? Drillers and equipment is a good place to be today. |
