Study Links Taller Wind Turbines To More Bird Deaths/Earth Techling

A new attempt to get some firm idea of how damaging wind power plants are to bird populations in the United States suggests that the trend toward taller towers could be leading to more deaths. On the other hand, the new research also reveals that siting fewer new turbines in California and more in the Great Plains – where the wind resource is rich and increasingly being exploited – could decrease the risk to birds.
