I must admit I wholeheartedly agree with what Donald Trump said, 85 minutes into the debate, - "I know more about wind than anyone!" Yep. He sure does.
I know a little about environmental bird kills.
The number of dead birds are higher where they rest, which is frequently on power lines causing a higher incidence of bird corpses.
That’s just one factor, there are many more.
The distribution around windmills approach what would be expected if the windmills weren’t there.
But around coal plants there’s a dramatic increase in dead birds due to environmental contamination.
