"The mammoth footprints of industrial wind installations fragment prime
habitats, drive species out of their nesting areas, and further threaten
already endangered species with extinction. Wind turbines are slaughtering eagles, bats, and other magnificent flying creatures worldwide." Moreover, the economics are negative, these giant bird killers are making people ill and driving some from their homes,
trashing peoples’ property values, and forever changing the character of the area.

Update: Is Big Environmentalism giving Big Wind a pass? Yes! The bird slaughter is now up to 500,000 per year, with one thousand being eagles: http://www.masterresource.org/2012/07/windpower-versus-wildlife/
