A new study suggests a way to stop seabirds from colliding with wind turbines: painting a black-and-white pattern on all three blades and the pylon to produce a flickering effect.

This strategy has yet to be tested or implemented, but experts believe it has promise and would create its desired effect.

It’s estimated that wind turbines kill thousands of birds in the U.K. alone. https://news.mongabay.com/…/whats-black-and-white-and…/
