You may want to look at wind power vs domestic cats and how deadly they are to the bird population.

I'm sure we can come up with some tech to keep the birds away. Sounds like a challenge for some NJ high schools or colleges to me. Maybe State funded.

Edit: Here's a freebie to get everyone rolling because I love CS and animals. A fleet of AI drones that intercept incoming flocks and play an incredibly irritating sound when in the vicinity of the birds until their vector is acceptable. There. Enjoy. They could station and charge right on top of the turbines.

I love how i provide a factual statement, than even propose an alternative towards a different power source and i get down voted as well as having people put sarcastic comments. Good discussion

What does this have to do with windmills killing birds and my wish to move towards nuclear?
