The nation's largest offshore wind farm will be built off the Padre Island National Seashore in South Texas, a critical migratory bird flyway, Texas land commissioner, Jerry Patterson said Thursday.

I understand the potential  "WIND POWER FARMS"  may have of helping cut down on our energy resources and costs,which will also cut down on the global warming effects....[Great for the environment!]  But I don't understand why they are building them in some of the worst places for  migational birds! This really hits close to home for me, because  I have lived here on the  Padre Island Seashore  Migrational trailways  in South Texas for the past 15 years.And I have recorded the  geese ,cranes, hawks, and many rare and tropical birds every year,that travel right over my house on their seasonal migrations.

It saddens me deeply to know in the future, many of these birds may not survive the death traps that are being errected in their paths,These are paths they have followed for decades.And Padre Island Seashore is one of the largest offshore migration routes in the world! Some environmentalists say the promise of clean energy may not be worth the deaths of countless birds of rare species that migrate through the area each year on their way to and from winter grounds in Mexico and Central America...

  By John Ritter, USA TODAY ,ALTAMONT PASS, Calif. — The big turbines that stretch for miles along these rolling, grassy hills have churned out clean, renewable electricity for two decades in one of the nation's first big wind-power projects.But for just as long, massive fiberglass blades on the more than 4,000 windmills have been chopping up tens of thousands of birds that fly into them, including golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, burrowing owls and other raptors.

By the California Energy Commission --- Since the 1980s, studies have shown that wind turbines, the most cost-effective non-combustion renewable technology currently available have the potential to kill birds. At the 50,000 acre, 7,000-turbine Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area (APWRA), researchers estimate that more than 1,000 birds are killed annually. About half of the birds killed are raptors (golden eagles, red-tailed hawks, burrowing owls, and American kestrels) that are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and/or Endangered Species Act. Each violation of these acts can result in fines from $100,000 to $500,000.

 I will be researching and keeping up with the the effects of "THE WIND POWERED FANS" on our "FEATHERED FRIENDS"...  I think certain geographical locations should be avoided to prevent   these enormous amounts of devastating bird kills. What do you think???        

I have heard about these windmills causing problems. They are in Wisconsin as well. I would not want to live near them.

Thanks for your input,Connie,I didnt know they were in Wisconsin. I am finding that there are many of these windmills all over the world.
